Program Description:
Building on the ideas of Sullivan, Spitz, Lacan, Aulagnier, Vergote, and “Open Dialogue,” we will show that genetic and biological factors can influence schizophrenia and psychoses. Still, the psycho-social dimension dominates the cause of schizophrenia. Hence, I will argue that a psycho-social approach to healing such patients is recommended.
