Abstract

A simple typology is presented for the rapid classification of the functional genetically psychotic individual in custody. The three-type model is based on the author's evaluation of 2000 adult male individuals in a local custody setting. Based on psychodiagnostic impression and criminal history, eight criterion variables are described. For clarity and simplicity, the types are labeled the Sunshine Chronic (I), the Mentally Disordered Offender (II), and the Failed Schizophrenic (III).
