Abstract

Bibliography and reviews. Mauz Friedrich. Die Prognostik der endogenen Psychosen. 121 Seiten. Verlag Georg Thieme. Leipzig. 1930. Preis RM. 7.50. Endogenous psychoses, the prognostics of which Friedrich Mauz studies in his book, are a group of schizophrenias and manic-depressive psychosis. Accordingly, the book falls into two parts. In schizophrenia, in terms of prognosis, it is very important to know whether we are dealing with a 'schizophrenic catastrophe44 or a schizophrenic attack. In a schizophrenic catastrophe, we have cases with rapid, violent, predominantly continuous decay. Here the process lasts 3-4 years and leads to the final dementia.
