Abstract:
The validity of the current systems of classification of endogenous psychoses has not yet been unambiguously demonstrated using the criterion of prognosis. An alternative to these systems may be seen in the Leonhard classification of endogenous psychoses. In a catamnestic study, 93% of the initial diagnoses and prognoses made between 1969 and 1973 could be confirmed in 1986.
