PARANOIC CONDITIONS.

The clinical group of psychoses included under the designation paranoic conditions is far from being homogeneous. We have here cases that are more or less closely allied to the paranoid form of dementia praecox, other cases that are apparently dependent upon involutional changes (Kraepelin's _praeseniler Beeintraechtigungswah_), still other cases that are characterized by absence or at least delay of mental deterioration, etc.

In some of these cases disturbance of the flow of utterance is not observed, and the test records obtained from them present no striking abnormalities. Distinctly pathological records are obtained mainly from those cases which clinically resemble dementia praecox; in these records the nature of the pathological reactions would seem to indicate that the diagnosis of dementia praecox would be more justifiable than that of paranoic condition.

The following test records will serve to illustrate the types of reactions met with in this group of psychoses:
