Schizophrenia has long been regarded as the most important mental
problem since the twentieth century. Apart from the biochemical and
genetic models, there are many psychosocial theories including
psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, phenomenological, existential,
biochemical as well as social construction perspectives in
explaining the cause and recovery of schizophrenia. Under the
domination of biochemical and genetic models, the treatment,
services and recovery work for clients with schizophrenia are
undermined. Professionals may follow the recovery orientation and
focus on hospitalisation as the sole concern in recovery and
treatment. However in doing so, they fail to connect with the rich
and solid foundation of related theories in schizophrenia in past
centuries. In addition, the subjective experiences of people with
schizophrenia are severely ignored and neglected by related
parties. This book serves to bridge this theoretical gap by a
profound revisit of different perspectives and concepts in
self-fragmentation of persons with schizophrenia. Within
phenomenological, psychodynamic, sociological and existential
perspectives, clients with schizophrenia harbor an intense urge for
an integrated self-system and ontological existence behind their
fragmented psychotic experiences. Within the self-fragmentation and
self-integration dilemma, three dynamic forces are identified. They
are self-splitting versus self-cohesions, self-concealment versus
self-visibility, and self-destruction versus self-preservation.
This integration, when it occurs, can finally leas to a full mental
health recovery. That includes three positive forces:
self-cohesion, self-visibility and self-preservation, which enable
the individual with schizophrenia to restore a normal integration
system with a normal life and social functioning within an
integrated and supportive community.
