Abstrakt: The article discusses studies which were concerned with the relationship between the process-reactive classification of schizophrenia and autonomic nervous system activity. It tested the hypothesis that predominately reactive schizophrenics display a higher level of autonomic responsiveness after the injection of mecholyl than predominantly process schizophrenics. Both studies employed the method of process-reactive classification of schizophrenic subjects made on the basis of case history information. The article discussed the implications of study findings in regard to physiological responsiveness in schizophrenia.
