Popis:	In an attempt to differentiate clinically between sub-groups of children diagnosed psychotic, fifty-six children were assessed on a graphic testing scale using twenty items. Results subjected to factor analysis indicated two significant sub-classes. Factor 1: Characterised by bizarre posturing; abnormal motility patterns; aloofness; impersonal use of people; and self directed aggression. This was designated a “schizophrenic” factor. Factor 2: Characterished by excessive response to sensory stimuli; scrutiny of the body; hyperkinesis and externally directed aggression. This was designated a “non schizophrenic” (? organic) factor. Although clinically overlapping, it is thought that application of the above criteria may provide more homogeneous groups, with implications for research, therapy and prognosis.
