The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of subliminal symbiotic stimulation alone and in conjunction with an enhancement procedure on the pathology of relatively differentiated and relatively undifferentiated schizophrenics. It was hypothesized that enhancing the positive attributes of the schizophrenic's image of his mother prior to stimulating a fantasy of a symbiotic merger might increase his ability to benefit from the subliminal symbiotic stimulus. This hypothesis was not supported. Differentiated schizophrenics who received both enhancement procedure and the subliminal symbiotic stimulus showed no pathology reduction, whereas differentiated schizophrenics who received only the subliminal symbiotic stimulus manifested significant reductions in both pathological thinking and pathological behavior. Undifferentiated schizophrenics showed no reduction in pathology after the symbiotic stimulus regardless of whether or not they also received the enhancement procedure. An important finding which emerged was that the subliminal enhancement stimulus alone--i.e., without the symbiotic stimulus--resulted in reductions in pathological behavior for both differentiated and undifferentiated schizophrenics. It was concluded that although enhancing the positive attributes of the schizophrenic's maternal representation did not increase his ability to benefit from subliminal symbiotic stimulation, it did reduce pathology in its own right.
本研究的目的是调查单独的阈下共生刺激以及与强化程序相结合时，对相对分化型和相对未分化型精神分裂症患者病理状况的影响。研究假设是，在激发共生融合幻想之前增强精神分裂症患者对其母亲形象的积极属性，可能会提高他从阈下共生刺激中获益的能力。这一假设未得到支持。接受强化程序和阈下共生刺激的分化型精神分裂症患者，其病理状况并未减轻，而仅接受阈下共生刺激的分化型精神分裂症患者，其病理思维和病理行为均有显著减轻。未分化型精神分裂症患者在接受共生刺激后，无论是否也接受了强化程序，其病理状况均未减轻。出现的一个重要发现是，单独的阈下强化刺激（即无共生刺激）会使分化型和未分化型精神分裂症患者的病理行为均有所减轻。研究得出结论，虽然增强精神分裂症患者对母亲的表征的积极属性并未提高他从阈下共生刺激中获益的能力，但它本身确实减轻了病理状况。
