ABSTRACT

Introduced by the Zurich psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler, the term “schizophrenia” in the strict sense means “split mind” and refers to a certain fragmentation of the mind. Nearly 1% of people have schizophrenia, which usually appears in adulthood. It is a kind of psychosis and includes a state of loss of contact with reality (Collard, Pothier, & Roy, 2017).
