It is important to emphasize that it was the co-occurrence of dissociation
and avolition that described individual “caseness.” Hallucinations
or delusions alone were not diagnostic. In fact, even
chronic hallucinations and delusions, in the absence of a “disintegration
of personality,” was not dementia praecox. Rather, Kraepelin
referred to this condition as “paraphrenia” [2]. Later, he acknowledged
that poor prognosis was not inevitable in dementia
praecox; nor was diagnosis in adolescence required [2
