Two of the most perplexing problems that psychiatrists have to face are those of the choice of neurosis and the origin of schizophrenia. These enigmas which have acquired a mystique of esoteric proportions make us wonder if the questions we construct are part of a frame of reference that belongs to the past—a traditional approach that may have to be discarded. Perhaps a model of the mind will evolve that makes such questions meaningless. The psychoanalytic frame of reference, even now, does not include concepts which relate to processes relevant to fundamental origins. Still, even though we may not know exactly what schizophrenia is, some analysts believe that some schizophrenics can be treated psychoanalytically. Thus the discussion of the psychoanalysis of schizophrenics would be our chief interest in a book such as this one.
