Which of the following is not among Bleuler's 4A's of Schizophrenia?: (A) Ambivalence, (B) Apraxia, (C) Affect disturbance, (D) Autism
Answer is B. Loosening of Association is the 4th A which is missing in the above choices. This is however a very old classification with only historical significance. Autism is now considered as a seperate condition and the term it is not used to indicate negative symptoms of Schizophrenia. Apraxia is usually seen in stroke involving paretal lobe.
