Summary

Ninety-two consecutive, hospitalized patients between the ages of 20 and 39 were studied and rated in regard to whether they presented primarily behavioral or primarily ideational symptoms on admission to a New York state hospital.

Possible explantions were discussed and areas of further investigation were suggested.
