“If troubled ‘thinking’ reaches a stage where it seriously interferes with an individual’s ability to function, then it is time to seek help.
In the case of physical illness, we tend to think of cure as involving the complete eradication of the condition. Not so with schizophrenia– the cure consists of enabling the individual to function without serious hindrance –and maximise their potential within society
The particular weakness of the individual is not likely to be completely eradicated. If a person tends to display schizophrenic tendencies, they could still have this underlying characteristic after being cured.
We do not cure people by removing their innate human characteristics (personalities).
A person who has been competently treated by a modern psychoanalyst will still be able to enjoy the whole range of human feelings and actions available to the rest of us” - J. G. Fennessy ,2007
