"Today diagnosis for psychotic patients and mentally or otherwise ill persons are most commonly placed by ICD or DSM criteria. Psychosis will in general appear as an affective disorder (e.g. depression), a form of schizophrenia (e.g. catatonic type of schizophrenia) or a schizophrenia-like disorder, like the schizoaffective disorder for example. However the classification of psychosis by Leonhard is much more accurate."

I've removed this section from the article both because it's clearly NPOV, it's unreferenced and also has something of a whiff of the coatrack about it. However, it's possible that whoever added it was trying to say that Leonhard's definition of forms of psychosis is narrower, more specific more precise than ICD or DSM. Even if this is the case, needs a source.FrFintonStack (talk) 11:14, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

English readers who wish to learn more about Karl Leonhard may wish to look at the German Wikipedia article. If they use Google Chrome they will be able to employ Google Translate which, while not ideal for this topic, will give them a rough idea of what he did and wrote.
