Schizotaxia is a stable syndrome of neuropsychological deficits and negative symptoms found in relatives of schizophrenic patients. These may represent special vulnerability to schizophrenia. Five areas of deficit are enumerated and suggestions as to the potential value of pre-illness interventions are discussed.
