The author reviewed the frequency of the hebephrenic subtype compared to the paranoid subtype diagnosis of schizophrenia in Japan, using research papers and statistical reports that have been published during this century. It was found that the reported rates for the hebephrenic subtype ranged from a low of 23% to a high of 68% with the majority falling between 30% and 50%. These rates had not varied significantly over a long period of time or across wide geographical areas. It was discussed that Japanese psychiatrists were so sensitive to the negative symptoms of schizophrenia that they had a broader concept of hebephrenia as compared to other Kraepelian subtypes in schizophrenia.
作者利用本世纪发表的研究论文和统计报告，回顾了日本精神分裂症青春型亚型与偏执型亚型诊断的频率。结果发现，报道的青春型亚型发生率低至23%，高至68%，大多数在30%至50%之间。这些发生率在很长一段时间内或广泛的地理区域内没有显著变化。讨论指出，日本精神科医生对精神分裂症的阴性症状非常敏感，因此与精神分裂症的其他克雷佩林亚型相比，他们对青春型精神分裂症的概念更为宽泛。
