[What Swiss psychiatrists think of schizophrenia].

The author has made an inquiry with all the swiss FMH psychiatrists, the subject being their opinion on the origins of schizophrenia. 69% answered. The majority of psychiatrists questioned, think that it is impossible to establish priorities between the psycho-genetical determinatives on one hand and hereditary and neuro-biochemical components on the other. The author was able to establish a ststistically significative correlation between the age of the psychiatrists and their opinion on the origins of schizophrenia. On the other hand, their opinion on the origins of schizophrenia was not influenced by the fact that a member of their family was schizophrenic.
