Handbook of insanity for practitioners and students . the refractory look, the firmly closed mouth, and thefolded arms are the expression of dislike to sitting quietly whilethe photograph is taken. The patient is usually boisterous, cursesin a confused way, and talks against voices. The woman formerly thought herself persecuted, then regardedherself as a princess, but for years has been entirely confused. Sheis generally in motion, certain imperative movements being re-peated hundreds of times a day. The play of features is spasmodicand often changes, so that it corresponds to no definite expression.
