An Overview of Schizophrenia from a Predominantly Psychological Approach
Abstract
The author reviews the psychological approach to the study and treatment of schizophrenia—its psychogenesis, psychodynamics, psychological structures and mechanisms, and psychotherapy. He notes the areas in which changes of position or emphasis are called for, particularly the formation of the maternal image and the self-image, and discusses the new conceptions of schizophrenia that view it as simply a variety of human existence rather than as a disease.
