CELY A, FLOR EMILCE. The Self as Intersubjective Construction: What Schizophrenia Teaches. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.2, pp.202-217. ISSN 0121-5469.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v26n2.57125.

Phenomenological analyses of schizophrenia have shown that this disease's characteristic symptoms involve a profound alteration of the basic sense of self. This work begins with the description of intersubjectivity disorders in schizophrenia. In these conditions, schizophrenic subjects live interpersonal contact as a threat that their identity can be stolen. The article shows how analysis of some of the most acute schizophrenic symptoms reaffirms phenomenology's position that the experiential sense of self has a fundamental constitutive priority.

Keywords : phenomenology; schizophrenia; experiential self; intersubjectivity.
