my very first
examination of him made me feel that he
was a paranoid schizophrenic
that's to say
a man suffering from a severe
and usually irreversible form of
insanity but as i
got to know him better i saw
that
this
was
only part of him that there was a very
large
part of his personality functioning very
adequately not invaded by his delusions
and that he could for quite lengthy
periods snap out of his delusional
system
and either act normally or
petulantly or childishly but certainly
not
psychotically or insanely
