Part II of the affected sibling study raises questions of symptom correlation (incidence of delusions, states of confusion, suicide tendencies and attempts, hallucinatory episodes, hypochondriac attitudes, angry manias, and depressive stupor) in mood disorders. The investigated sample (307 sibling groups, 701 hospitalized patients; selection principle: at least 1 sibling showing a bipolar or manic axial syndrome) directs our attention to the possibility that the multiplicity of specific manic and depressive syndromes derives not only from the genetic complexity of the mood-producing system but mirrors the full range of human behavior. Moods must be conceptualized as interpretative metalanguages with respect to the entire wealth of behavioral object languages.
患病同胞研究的第二部分提出了情绪障碍中症状相关性的问题（妄想发生率、意识模糊状态、自杀倾向与企图、幻觉发作、疑病态度、躁狂愤怒和抑郁性木僵）。所调查的样本（307个同胞组，701名住院患者；选择原则：至少有1名同胞表现出双相或躁狂轴性综合征）使我们注意到这样一种可能性，即特定躁狂和抑郁综合征的多样性不仅源于情绪产生系统的遗传复杂性，而且反映了人类行为的全部范围。就行为对象语言的全部丰富性而言，情绪必须被概念化为解释性元语言。
