✦ Synopsis

persecution. Paranoid schizophrenic patient B tolerated the back approach poorly and during the first sessions when nearing the E she would generally turn around and present herself frontally and eye-to-eye. Horowitz(3) noted that a male acute paranoid appeared "frightened of real or hallucinated stimuli arising behind him", and that he was frontally intrusive of the BBZ of others.

SUMMARY

Five female patients were asked to approach a female experimenter with the right, left, front, and back sides of their body. Distance recordings made bi-or triweekly over a 4-6 week period gradually normalized. A distant back approach corresponded with observations of bizarre behavior, and front-left distance with states of withdrawal and depression. A distant right-sided approach often occurred on days when patients were verbally or physically aggressive.
