For many decades clinicians have recognized the importance of some nonorganic psychoses that have no obvious relationship to either schizophrenia or affective illness. These atypical psychoses are characterized by sudden onset, florid and fluid symptoms, brief duration, remitting outcome, and a pattern of recurrences. They are presumed to be caused by major stress or characterologic defects or both. Systematic investigations into these conditions have been comparatively sparse. This report reviews the literature concerning these remitting atypical psychoses, proposes descriptive criteria for their recognition, and makes suggestions for further research.
几十年来，临床医生已经认识到一些与精神分裂症或情感性疾病均无明显关联的非器质性精神病的重要性。这些非典型精神病的特点是起病突然、症状鲜明且多变、病程短暂、预后缓解以及有复发模式。它们被认为是由重大压力或性格缺陷或两者共同所致。对这些病症的系统研究相对较少。本报告回顾了关于这些缓解性非典型精神病的文献，提出了识别它们的描述性标准，并对进一步研究提出了建议。
