Psycho-Correctional Approach to Schizophrenic Identity: Between Psychoanalysis and Dasein-Analysis

The purpose of the study: a description of psychocorrectional options for the rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenic disorder. The article shows some private examples from clinical practice that are only part of the real theoretical and experimental studies. The tasks were to describe and discuss the conditions of the psychocorrectional approach in dasein-analysis and psychoanalysis, which would not exclude each other, but on the contrary would expand psychotherapeutic tools when dealing with people suffering from Schizophrenia. Patients and methods: in the course of psychotherapeutic work, complex group and individual psychocorrectional activities were carried out with persons suffering from schizophrenia on the basis of the Novosibirsk Psychiatric Hospital (GNPCB No.3). A set of methods was used: dasein-analytical, psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioral therapy.

The principles of Integrated Psychological Therapy (IPT) to identify the surviving cognitive resources and social skills of a schizophrenic patient were used as a binder (or structuring) approach. Results and сonclusions: during the psychocorrections, internal and external coordination conflicts were developed in patients with schizophrenia, who lived part of their personal experience. Attempts have been made to develop a pattern of behaviour that would create an acceptable social microclimate in the life of a schizophrenic patient while maintaining his individual values. Productive intrarapsiic activity was also stimulated, which would help to establish links with society.
