Baseado num trabalho apresentado oralmente no 7º Simpósio do Serviço de Psiquiatria do Hospital Professor Doutor Fernando Fonseca EPE, que teve lugar a 10 e 11 de Março de 2017.Anomalous Self-Experiences (ASE) are probably the most important contemporary conceptual and empirical research topic in the field
Psychopathology of Schizophrenia. The set of
these subjective phenomena constitute particular traits of schizophrenic subjects which
were shown to be present in the first episode
of psychosis, in prodromal and in Ultra-HighRisk states. Outstandingly, such enquiries have
raised the standard of the psychopathological
examination and endorsed reconsidering that
subjective phenomena might increase validity
of a psychiatric category without sacrificing
reliability. They include changes in thought,
self and bodily experience, reality contact
and existential orientation. The keynote explored new ways of ASE’s symbolization as is
the case of Truman Symptoms and abnormal
bodily experiences subsets in Ultra-High-Risk
subjects. Also, it further isolated ASE in new
settings such as anxiety disorders. The keynote
presented the results of three studies including
two studies in Ultra-High-Risk subjects and in
Panic Disorder subjects characterizing their
profile and considering possible differences
from schizophrenia. All of them aim to be a
necessary first step to sanction a new set of
enquiries contemplating other subjective phenomena that might occur in schizophrenia
and recognizing the possible role of addressing
subjectivity in determining psychopathology
of other disorders.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
