Extract

Psychiatrists have been interested in the terminal stages of schizophrenia for many years. The attempt to distinguish different lines of evolution for this mysterious illness has unfortunately not been very successful. One can only agree with Henri Ey, who said, ‘… the final stages (of schizophrenia) are not the clinical expression of well-defined types, of real entities. They are organized forms in the schizophrenic catastrophe, forms of liquidation of the bankrupt psyche, which depend less on a specific process than on its psychodynamic vicissitudes.’
