I also define negative vs. positive symptoms. Eugen Bleuler expanded our understanding of schizophrenia by introducing the 4 A’s: Alogia, Autism, Affective blunting and Ambivalence. These 4 A’s are now called negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Positive symptoms refer to delusions, hallucinations and disorganized thinking or behavior. References Cerveri G, Gesi C, Mencacci C.
