S104. WHAT OF THE MINIMAL SELF? IDENTITY SUBJECTIVITY AND THE LIMITS OF SELF-DISORDERS IN FIRST EPISODE PSYCHOSIS

摘要

Schizophrenia spectrum conditions have been linked to alterations in self-experience from some of their earliest descriptions. These alterations include disruptions in self-awareness, agency/volition, and distortions of personal identity more generally, and are thought to apply to both a “minimal” and “narrative” self. The notion of schizophrenia-spectrum illnesses as being rooted in self-disorders (SD) continues to receive broad theoretical and empirical support, including from studies of first episode psychosis (FEP). Here, we examine the subjective experience of disruptions in self-identity within a cohort of FEP service users, while critically engaging with the SD literature.
