Popis: SUMMARY Schizophrenia is a chronic terror syndrome. In World War II there were battlefield traumas that always produced classic schizophrenic symptoms. However, if the patients were healthy before the trauma, they spontaneously recovered. The myth of the incurability of schizophrenia led to the belief that these individuals could not be schizophrenic if they recovered. But all schizophrenics are the victims of lives filled with trauma, sometimes subtle but usually obvious. Examples are described. Professionals have tried not to listen. But if one investigates, most of the bad things patients talk about or symbolize in their symptoms are not delusional, but real traumas. It helps to face the truth.
