Is there a schizophasia? A study applying the single case approach to formal thought disorder in schizophrenia.

abstract：:Regressive behavior is a known sequela after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, prolonged "infantile-like" behavior has received little attention in the literature, suggesting that this is a rare phenomenon. It is typically characterized by long-lasting childish, extremely dependent, and sometimes aggressiv...
