“The term schizoid refers to an individual the totality of whose experience is split in two main ways: in the first place, there is a rent in his relation with his world and, in the second, there is a disruption of his relation with himself. Such a person is not able to experience himself 'together with' others or 'at home in' the world, but, on the contrary, he experiences himself in despairing aloneness and isolation; moreover, he does not experience himself as a complete person but rather as 'split' in various ways, perhaps as a mind more or less tenuously linked to a body, as two or more selves, and so on.” MindBodyDespairIsolationSchizoid Book:The Divided Self: An Existential Study in Sanity and Madness Source: The Divided Self: An Existential Study in Sanity and Madness
“What we call 'normal' is a product of repression, denial, splitting, projection, introjection and other forms of destructive action on experience.” MindPsychiatrySchizophreniaNormality Book:The Politics of Experience/The Bird of Paradise Source: The Politics of Experience/The Bird of Paradise
