Positive symptoms of schizophrenia were diminished by neuroleptics [haloperdol] and increased by amphetamine and accounted for most of the change seen in the total Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS). Negative symptoms in the same subjects were not affected by neuroleptics but increased after amphetamines to a degree that just attained statistical significance. This increase was due to 1 item (emotional withdrawal) of the negative symptom factor which responded to neuroleptics and amphetamines as did positive symptoms. New ideas about the role of dopamine in schizophrenia are discussed.
