[Trans-subjective practice in schizophrenic delusions]

In schizophrenic delusion, the world of other humans is not so much the scope of events and actions; the patient rather sees himself as actually related to others, while including "the other persons" in the delusion of persecution as a crucial point of reference. Delusion, therefore, has a referential structure. When analysing the referential structure of "being persecuted", it is shown to be unilaterally transitive, the patient being, however, the ontological first reference point. The relationship to others in schizophrenic delusion cannot, however, achieve intersubjectivity; its significance is merely trans-subjective.
