A person may be a n acutepsychotic wherein he becomes psychotic for only a few minutes at a time and only occasionally in certain environments (as in rages or apathies) or he may be a chronicpsychotic, or in a continual disconnection with the future and present.

Psychotics who are harmful on a less dramatic basis are no less harmful to their environment and are no less psychotic. —HDA Tapes (Oakland Lectures) Approved Glossary (16.4.92)
