It is suggested that the core of the schizophrenic ego disturbance is the inability of the ego to neutralize the aggressive desires. This failure leads to

experiences resulting in the fear of interchange, loss of control, and ultimately loss of personality. Liberation of aggression exposes the objects to destruction. The defense against the aggression may be withdrawal, projection, and varying degrees of ego regression to the point of its undifferentiated phase. It is also suggested that neurosis is an unsuccessful defense against libido, psychosis an unsuccessful defense against aggression.
