The nature of the relationship between thought organization and primary process was explored by correlating clinical indicators of thought disorder on the Rorschach and formal primary process mechanisms in the dreams of 14 parents of schizophrenics recorded during a two-week period. The relationship between variability of primary process intensity and the Thought Disorder Index produced a negative correlation at the 0.05 level of significance. Variability of primary process intensity was not found to be significantly related to the length or frequency of the dreams. This inverse relationship between formal thought disorder and variability over time of primary process in the dreams of biological relatives of schizophrenics suggested that dream constriction could be a regressive marker in the heritability of schizophrenia.
通过将罗夏测验中思维障碍的临床指标与14位精神分裂症患者父母在两周内记录的梦境中的形式初级过程机制进行关联，探讨了思维组织与初级过程之间关系的本质。初级过程强度的变异性与思维障碍指数之间的关系在0.05的显著水平上呈负相关。未发现初级过程强度的变异性与梦境的长度或频率有显著关系。精神分裂症患者生物学亲属梦境中形式思维障碍与初级过程随时间的变异性之间的这种反向关系表明，梦境收缩可能是精神分裂症遗传性中的一种退行性标志。
