Twenty‐one male and 32 female inpatients who met the criteria of schizophrenia according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria were compared for demographic, symptomatic, life history, and genetic variables. Female schizophrenics were marginally less likely to have auditory hallucinations; They were more likely to have early loss experiences (either bereavement or separation from a parent) before the age of 16. No other differences were found between the men and women.
