The term 'schizophrenic' is used in two distinct ways: namely to describe a particular type of illness and also as a label for the person suffering from this illness. If we concentrate on the 'illness' conception of schizophrenia it readily becomes apparent that its definition and nature varies somewhat from one proponent to another. Added to this is the problem that the major conceptions of schizophrenia are based on disjunctive concepts. The basic argument of this paper is that while all clinical conceptions of schizophrenia have assumed the existence of a disease-entity syndrome, no attempt has ever been made to test its logical alternative: namely a random-symptom model. Some data will be presented which are at least compatible with this alternative and some of the theoretical implications spelt out.
“精神分裂症患者”这个术语有两种不同的用法：即用来描述一种特定类型的疾病，也作为患有这种疾病的人的标签。如果我们专注于精神分裂症的“疾病”概念，很明显其定义和本质在不同的支持者之间会有所不同。此外，还有一个问题是，精神分裂症的主要概念是基于析取概念。本文的基本论点是，虽然所有关于精神分裂症的临床概念都假定存在一种疾病实体综合征，但从未有人尝试检验其逻辑上的替代方案：即随机症状模型。将呈现一些至少与这种替代方案相符的数据，并阐明一些理论含义。
