The role of schizophrenic self-disorder in contemporary phenomenological psychiatry

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is, on the one hand, to examine the ipseity-hiperreflexivity model ofschizophrenia popularized in contemporary phenomenological psychiatry. On the other hand, itaims to compare the model with R. D. Laing’s earlier observations about the self. Owning to theworks of the co-authors, Sass and Parnas, the divergent symptoms of schizophrenia spectrumdisorder can be reduced to the minimal self that is a simpler notion than the person. The paperseeks to give and answer to the question of the relation between the lifeworld and the minimalself. Sass and Parnas argues, in the prodromal phase of schizophrenia an endogenous selfdisorder can emerge and its recognition could initiate therapeutic interventions prior to thefull-blown psychotic breakdown. Other authors emphasize the primacy of the lifeworld andidentity disorders determined by life circumstances contrary to or besides the role of minimalself-awareness
