The provided text introduces a new psychodynamic theory of schizophrenia focused on the concept of "inversions," which are defined as the confusion of fundamental existential meanings such as the absolute, relative, or nothing. The theory posits that these inversions are the main cause of schizophrenic symptoms, leading to the loss of an authentic sense of self and the emergence of a "strange Self." Furthermore, the source compares this new concept with existing schizophrenia theories, including vulnerability-stress, double-bind, and psychoanalytic models, arguing that the inversion concept can integrate most known causes. Finally, the text introduces "Primary Psychotherapy" as a recommended treatment approach that emphasizes the unconditional importance of a person's core Self and is explicitly Christian-oriented, suggesting that love and a connection to a higher Absolute are the most powerful therapeutic forces. The author critiques many established psychological fields, such as materialism, psychoanalysis, and cognitive behavioral therapy, for being too focused on the ego and neglecting spiritual or transcendental dimensions.
