Paranoid integration and thought disorder.
This study investigated the relationship between thought disorder as measured by Bannister's Grid Test and paranoid integration. Twenty-six hospitalized schizophrenics were subdivided into High Integration and Low integration groups on the basis of scores on Foulds' System-Sign Inventory. No significant differences were found between these groups on the thought-disorder measure. When the sample was subdivided into paranoid and nonparanoid groups on the basis of clinical diagnosis, paranoids were found to be significantly less thought disordered than nonparanoids.
