Different scientifical orientations in approaching so-called schizophrenics.

The literature on the phenomenon of "schizophrenia" presents different scientific orientations. These are classified under five headings: biophysical, intrapsychic, phenomenological, behavioural and socio-cultural. This classification corresponds to the different contemporary professional orientations. However, each orientation provides only the interpretation of one aspect of the total phenomenon studied. Moreover, most interpretations are still imperfectly developed. A comprehensive transdimensional approach is a task for the future.
