This volume contains the edited transcript of the second Totts Gap
Colloquium, held at Totts Gap, Pennsylvania, May 29-31, 1975. The
objective of the Colloquium was to bring into focus what is known
of pathogenic mechanisms of schizophrenic manifestations. One hope
was to differentiate among syndromes that share the fea~ tures of
schizophrenia, disorganization of thought and talk, inap
propriateness of affect, circumstantiality, withdrawal from social
interaction, paranoid ideation, hallucinations, delusions,
catelepsy, catatonic excitement or mutism, etc. What is known of
the neural and chemical processes capable of inducing such
aberrations was discussed with an attempt to reconcile disparate
findings and in terpretations, to synthesize current evidence and
to point up cru cial areas of ignorance that need exploration. The
program was designed to further the objectives of the
Multidisciplinary Research Program in Mental Health, of the
University of Texas Medical Branch and to supplement their efforts
with a well focused look at the schizophrenic process. Accordingly,
Dr. Allan Goldstein, Professor of Biochemistry and Acting Director
of the Multidisciplinary Re search Program in Mental Health; Dr.
Bernard Haber, Associate Pro fessor of Biochemistry and Member of
the Marine Biomedical Institute; and Dr. Geraldine Cohen, Assistant
Professor, Department of Human Biological Chemistry and Genetics,
joined in discussion with the Colloquium participants who were as
follows: Dr. Mark D. Altschule, Clinical Professor, Harvard Medical
School. Dr. Llewellyn B. Bigelow, Director of ~ental Health
Research, St. Elizabeth's Hospital. Dr. Eugene L. Bliss, Professor
and Chairman of Psychiatry, University of Utah.
