Associations between Self-Disorders and First-Rank Symptoms: An Empirical Study

Conclusion: The close relation between first-rank symptoms and self-disorders seems to support Schneider ’s original concept of first-rank symptoms. We suggest that first-rank symptoms occurring without the pervasively altered self-experiences might not be different from other psychotic phenomena in terms of their diagnostic significance. Awareness of self-disorders can help clinicians in assessing a nd detecting first-rank symptoms.Psychopathology
