Yehuda Abramovitch
M.D. Psychiatrist at Beer-Yaakov Mental Health
Center and Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University. Senior Analyst,
Israel Institute of Jungian Psychology.
Jung
understood Schizophrenia as an "Abaissement du Niveau Mental", a
similar phenomenon to the one encountered in dreams, and caused by a peculiar
"Faiblesse de la Volonté". He contested that complexes in
Schizophrenia, in contrast with neurotic disorders, are disconnected and can
either never reintegrate to the psychic totality or they can join together in
remission "like a mirror broke into splinters". Accordingly, a person
who does not fight for the supremacy of his ego-consciousness and for the
subjugation of unconscious forces, a person who lets himself be swayed by the
intrusion of alien contents arising from the unconscious (or even is fascinated
by regression) exposes himself to the danger of Schizophrenia.
