"You'll have someone throwing up next to someone who seems ot be in schizophrenic psychosis," Thompson says.

He spent a year at Sorbonne University in Paris, France before his final year at College of the Holy Cross. The summer after college, Joseph was a psychiatric orderly at a local community hospital. While at the local community hospital, the brother of one of Joseph’s friends was admitted into the hospital with his first episode of schizophrenic psychosis which came to be of high interest to him. Coyle attended Johns Hopkins and received his MD in 1969.

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. However, it might also be characterised as the hybrid or composite approach, as it incorporates elements of both the disease model and the dimensional one. On this latest Claridge model, schizotypy is regarded as a dimension of personality, normally distributed throughout the population, as in the Eysenck model. However, schizophrenia itself is regarded as a breakdown process, quite distinct from the continuously distributed trait of schizotypy, and forming a second, graded continuum, ranging from schizotypal personality disorder to full-blown schizophrenic psychosis.

Some studies conducted at this regard, have been administrated by Cleghorn and Albert (1990), who strived to understand schizophrenia from multiple angles, such as neurobiology, neuropsychology, and cognitive science. They found that despite “individual modules of cognitive and emotional function may be intact in schizophrenia, messages are inappropriately sent to parts of the brain not specialized for the required information […]thus, “modular disjunction” of widely distributed neural systems develops, causing the signs and symptoms of schizophrenic psychosis.” Furthermore, Frith has predicted that the extent of mind-blindness depends on whether the objective/behavioural or subjective symptoms of ToM abilities prevail. Patients with the behavioural symptoms perform the poorest in ToM tasks, similar to autistic subjects, while patients displaying subjective/experiential symptoms have a ToM.

Clorotepine (; brand names Clotepin, Clopiben), also known as octoclothepin or octoclothepine, is an antipsychotic of the tricyclic group which was derived from perathiepin in 1965 and marketed in the Czech Republic by Spofa in or around 1971 for the treatment of schizophrenic psychosis. Clorotepine is known to have high affinity for the dopamine D1, D2, D3, and D4 receptors, the serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7 receptors, the α1A-, α1B-, and α1D-adrenergic receptors, and the histamine H1 receptors, where it has been it has been confirmed to act as an antagonist (or inverse agonist) at most sites (and likely is as such at all of them based on structure–activity relationships), and it also blocks the reuptake of norepinephrine via inhibition of the norepinephrine transporter. Due to its very potent activity at the D2 receptor, along with tefludazine, clorotepine was used as the basis for developing a 3-dimensional (3D) pharmacophore for D2 receptor antagonists.
