[Therapeutic reflections on violence in schizophrenic patients].

Abstract

A model for a psychotherapeutic access to the violence of schizophrenics is presented. The theory bases on three schizophrenic operations: The loss of thinking correlated to the absence of the psychical representative for the act of violence. The splitting of the ego by which the patient knows of his violence but does not remember it. The paradoxon of speaking and not speaking about violence in the same time. The active use of these psychotic mechanism in the therapy and technique is showed by casuistics. Special problems are discussed.
