Sumario:Dermatoglyphic studies Carried out in Schizophrenia have been evaluated and critically examined. Methodological errors existing in the previous studies have been pointed out and some guidelines for methodological refinements suggested and a dermatoglyphic corsensus index for diagnosis has been evolved. The heterogeneous nature of schizophrenia, being a group of syndromes, has been unanimously accepted, therefore, each category should be studied separately. Further scope of this potentially fruitful area has been discussed.
