- Abstract
The aim of this paper is to discuss the development of the concepts of cenesthetic type of schizophrenia and somatopsychic type of schizophrenia along with the review of differences between those two diagnostic approaches in scope of their historical background and the current diagnostic concepts. Those independently described diagnostic phenomena have some common features. However, the cenesthetic type of schizophrenia emphasises sensory elements of the disorders and includes a broader spectrum of the psychopathology while the somatopsychic type of schizophrenia focuses on the thought disorders and strictly schizophrenic psychopathology.
