Transactions in the family of the schizophrenic.
According to a large exemplification derived by the clinical practice, the relation between the schizophrenic's parents shows a concealed symmetry, that never escalates, but implies an endless excitement, that reassures the couple of their mutual consensus. As result, inhibition and inconclusiveness cause a loss of spontaneity and a reciprocal stereotyped characterization, connivingly accepted by both partners. Either a substitution without proxy or a swindle of one spouse by the other occurs in vital areas of their relation. The spouse's communication shows a continuous reciprocal attempt not to define their own relation, by the use of a wide wordiness, that includes different subjects and meanings in a confusive and spiral-shaped sequence. Such a kind of relation is assumed as originated by a massy influence of at least one spouse's family, that stops the couple at early stages of their relation.
