Pillman et al. (A-11) studied patients with acute brief episodes of psychoses. The researchers classified subjects into four personality types: obsessiod, asthenic=low self-confident, asthenic=high self-confident, nervous=tense, and undeterminable. The table below cross-classifies these personality types with three groups of subjects—those with acute and transient psychotic disorders (ATPD), those with “positive” schizophrenia (PS), and those with bipolar schizo-affective disorder (BSAD):
