Both geographically and historically, schizophrenia may have emerged from a psychosis that was more florid, affective, labile, shorter lived and with a better prognosis. It is conjectured that this has occurred with a reflexive self-consciousness in Western and globalising societies, a development whose roots lie in Christianity. Every theology also presents a psychology. Six novel aspects of Christianity may be significant for the emergence of schizophrenia-an omniscient deity, a decontexualised self, ambiguous agency, a downplaying of immediate sensory data, and a scrutiny of the self and its reconstitution in conversion.
从地理和历史上看，精神分裂症可能是从一种更明显、更情绪化、更不稳定、更短暂、预后更好的精神病中出现的。据推测，在西方和全球化社会中，这种情况的出现与自我意识的反射有关，这种发展的根源在于基督教。每个神学也都提出了一种心理学。基督教的六个新方面可能对精神分裂症的出现具有重要意义——一个全知全能的神、一个去语境化的自我、模糊的行为主体、对即时感官数据的淡化，以及对自我的审视及其在皈依中的重建。
