Clinical manifestations of self-disorders and the gestalt of schizophrenia
Open accessAbstract
Anomalies of self-experience (self-disorders) constitute crucial phenotypes of the schizophrenia spectrum. The following qualitative study demonstrates a variety of these core experiential anomalies. From a sample of 36 first-admitted patients, all of whom underwent a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, including the EASE scale (Examination of Anomalous Self-Experience), 2 schizophrenia patients were selected for detailed psychopathological presentation and discussion. The vignettes provide prototypical examples of what has been termed self-disorders in schizophrenia, ie, pervasive and enduring (mainly) trait phenomena which constitute essential aspects of the spectrum.

Disturbances in the minimal self are well-established and possibly core symptoms of schizophrenia.
“These disturbances in the minimal self are well-established features and perhaps even core symptoms of schizophrenia (de Vries et al., 2013; Henriksen & Parnas, 2012; Hur et al., 2014; B. Nelson, Whitford, et al., 2014; B. Nelson, Parnas, et al., 2014; Parnas & Handest, 2003; Sass & Parnas, 2003).”

Self-disturbance in schizophrenia extends from basic senses of agency and ownership to lifelong struggles with personal identity and meaning.
“This self-disturbance is profound, reaching from basic senses of agency and ownership over experience (de Vries et al., 2013; Henriksen & Parnas, 2012; Hur et al., 2014; B. Nelson, Parnas, et al., 2014; Sass & Parnas, 2003) to lifelong struggles to build personal identity and find meaning amid lost roles, relationships, and internalized stigma (Andresen et al., 2003; Ben-David & Kealy, 2019; Conne”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
