In discussing 2 patients, the authors point out that a study of spontaneous drawings by psychotics can be of considerable diagnostic importance in clinical practice. The clear structure of the drawings threw doubt on the diagnosis of schizophrenia in the case of the first patient who could be classified in the schizophenia spectrum on the basis of the formal symptoms. In the case of the second patient, where th clinical picture suggested different diagnosis, the drawings represent the 'ossified' essence of the experience and behavior symptoms and thus provided an objective basis for nosological classification. In addition, a characteristic feature of the difference between the creativity of the schizophrenic and the creative artist could be seen from a comparison with medieval Gothic art.
在讨论两名患者时，作者指出，对精神病患者自发绘画的研究在临床实践中可能具有相当重要的诊断意义。对于第一名患者，根据形式症状可将其归类于精神分裂症谱系，但绘画的清晰结构使对其精神分裂症的诊断产生了疑问。对于第二名患者，临床症状提示了不同的诊断，绘画呈现出经验和行为症状的“僵化”本质，从而为疾病分类提供了客观依据。此外，通过与中世纪哥特式艺术进行比较，可以看出精神分裂症患者的创造力与创造性艺术家之间差异的一个特征。
