[Schizophrenic inhibition]

The term "schizophrenic inhibition" can be related to different phenomenons. On one hand, there are symptoms of inhibition dealing with ideal, affects and motor behavior that are better described in terms of dissociation than simple deficiency. On the other hand, all along the evolution of the psychosis, we can see the onset of depressive syndroms where inhibition seems to be related to different mechanisms. Finally, the existence of deficit evolutions allows us to talk about the notion of deterioration which plays a major role in the history of the concept of schizophrenia.
