| Abstract: |
A total of 150 psychiatric patients--schizophrenics, affective psychotics and neurotics--were compared with 150 normal controls for handedness. Schizophrenics were significantly more likely to be non-dextrals (i.e. not completely right handed) than controls. Affective psychotics and neurotics were not significantly different from controls.
