The Phenomenology of Acute Organic Psychosis
British Journal of Psychiatry September 1, 1987 J. Cutting 137 citations
In 74 patients with acute organic psychosis, a distinctive pattern of delusions, perceptual disturbance, and thought disorder emerged that was markedly different from the pattern in 74 acute schizophrenics. The findings challenge theories that equate schizophrenia with an organic psychosis, suggesting that the psychopathology of acute organic psychosis arises from fundamentally different origins than that of schizophrenia.
