Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychoanalysis

Background:

  • Psychoanalytic interest in schizophrenia has declined due to poor outcomes and a perceived biological basis.
  • Current psychoanalytic approaches are limited, particularly for chronic schizophrenia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To re-evaluate the role of psychoanalysis in treating schizophrenia.
  • To present a psychoanalytic framework for understanding and relating to psychotic patients.
  • To advocate for the integration of psychoanalytic principles in psychiatric training.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of psychoanalytic attitudes towards schizophrenia.
  • Conceptual analysis of psychoanalytic theory and its application to psychosis.
  • Presentation of a clinical framework with illustrative examples.

Conclusions:

  • Psychoanalysis holds significant potential for contributing to general psychiatry and the treatment of schizophrenia.
