TLDR
This paper gives an account of these symptoms in schizophrenics, on admission to mental hospital; the assumption being that if they are the defining symptoms of the illness then they should be most prominent in the acute phase.Abstract:
Kurt Schneider (1939) set a high value on certain symptoms in the diagnosis of schizophrenia. He named them ‘first rank symptoms'. This paper gives an account of these symptoms in schizophrenics, on admission to mental hospital; the assumption being that if they are the defining symptoms of the illness then they should be most prominent in the acute phase.read more

Perceiving is believing: a Bayesian approach to explaining the positive symptoms of schizophrenia
TL;DR: It is suggested that it is possible to understand the symptoms of mental illness in terms of a disturbed hierarchical Bayesian framework, without recourse to separate considerations of experience and belief.

Schizophrenia, Consciousness, and the Self
Louis A. Sass,Josef Parnas +1 more
TL;DR: This article proposes a unifying account emphasizing basic abnormalities of consciousness that underlie and also antecede a disparate assortment of signs and symptoms of schizophrenic symptoms, and introduces the phenomenological approach along with a theoretical account of normal consciousness and self-awareness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Schizophrenia, “just the facts” 4. Clinical features and conceptualization
TL;DR: Heterogeneity in the etiopathology, symptomatology, and course of schizophrenia can be addressed by a dimensional approach to psychopathology, a clinical staging approach to illness course, and by elucidating endophenotypes and markers of illness progression, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why can't you tickle yourself?
TL;DR: The proposal that attenuation of self-produced tactile stimulation is due to the sensory predictions made by an internal forward model of the motor system is discussed, and evidence suggests that the cerebellum might be involved in generating the prediction of the sensory consequences of movement.
Journal ArticleDOI
The positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia reflect impairments in the perception and initiation of action

Dementia praecox and paraphrenia
TL;DR: "Dementia Praecox and Paraphrenia" (1919) was the book in which Kraepelin first presented his work on schizophrenia to the English-speaking world, and it was probably the most influential psychiatric text of the entire 20th century, and has now become rare.

The Phenomenological Approach in Psychopathology
TL;DR: In the examination of a psychiatric patient it is usual to distinguish between objective and subjective symptoms as mentioned in this paper, i.e., all concrete events that can be perceived by the senses, e.g. reflexes, registrable move ments, an individual's physiognomy, his motor activity, verbal expression, written productions, actions and general conduct, etc.

“Inner Voices”: Phenomenological and Clinical Aspects
TL;DR: The experience of hearing a "voice" or "loud thoughts" within the head or some other part of the body is not infrequently reported by psychiatric patients as mentioned in this paper, and it has been shown that these phenomena superficially resemble the schizophrenic experience of "thoughts becoming audible" but that distinction is possible on phenomenological grounds.
