- Psychological Theories
- AO1
- Psychodynamic view of schizophrenia - results of regression to pre-ego state and attempts to re-establish ego control
- Some schizophrenic symptoms reflect infantile state, other symptoms are an attempt to re-establish control
- Further features of disorder appear as individuals attempt to understand their experiences
- They may reject feedback from others and develop delusional beliefs
- AO2
- Very little evidence to support psychodynamic view of schizophrenia
- Behaviour of parents assumed to be key influence in development of schizophrenia but may be consequence rather than cause
- Cognitive explanation supported by neurophysiological evidence
- AO1
