This article discusses the concept of psychotic personality organization. I relate psychotic personality organization to observations and speculations about psychotic transferences and to behavioral developments during the treatment of chronically psychotic patients (particularly those with schizophrenia). The overwhelming theoretical perspectives used are twofold: (1) object relations theory and (2) a model integrating neurobiological advances in the study of psychosis with contemporary psychodynamic perspectives.
