[Chronicity or chronification among our schizophrenics].
We know of many different influences which are able either to prevent or to favour chronicity of schizophrenic psychoses: influences arising from treatment, from hospitalisation, from the relationship with others and even influences which have their origin in early childhood. All these good bad influences on the course of the psychoses, however, are not sufficient to explain the existence of chronification. Up to now it can be best understood by studying psychodynamics of chronic schizophrenics: they have reached an equilibrium between autistic and realistic thinking and perceiving. They protect their weak ego, with drawing partially into a fantastic world adapted to their dysharmonic nature and their dysharmonic surroundings, while they adapt themselves to reality as regards other experiences.
