Abstract

Persons come to be labelled "schizophrenic" by exhibiting a variety of behaviors considered to be decidedly deviant within our society. They may show a lack of emotion, appear relatively unresponsive to communications from others, and, in general, turn away from the "real" world in favor of a more personal one. All of these "symptoms" relate to a global term: "schizophrenic withdrawal."
