title: [Significance of model psychoses].
abstract: Empirical findings and arguments in the hitherto controversial field of experimental psychosis are reviewed historically and systematically. Similarities and differences of experimental psychosis and schizophrenia are discussed on the background of disturbances of perception, consciousness and ego experience ("reflektierender Ich-Rest"). Better psychopathological, biochemical and neuropsychological assessment strategies could lead to a revival of experimental psychosis which some brief suggestions are made for.
