The self experience of schizophrenics (i.e. their ego-pathology) is conceptualized in a theoretical model of five basic dimensions of ego consciousness (identity, activity, demarcation, consistence/coherence, vitality). A systematic empirical study uses the Ego-pathology-Inventory (with 53 items, Interraterreliability Kappa 0.9, Retestreliability 0.65). The study population consists of 552 schizophrenics, 25 borderline personality disorders, 87 depressive disorders. Ego-pathology clearly differs the three diagnostic groups. Confirmatory factorial analysis allows to accept the theoretical model. Various external measurements correlate with ego pathology. Three empirical syndromes resulted from statistical search for data-structures. A series of arguments for validation of the concept allow the conclusion the the proposed ego pathology concept is a viable approach for empirically studying the experimental core of the schizophrenias.
精神分裂症患者的自我体验（即他们的自我病理学）在一个关于自我意识五个基本维度（身份认同、活动、界限划分、一致性/连贯性、活力）的理论模型中被概念化。一项系统性实证研究使用了自我病理学量表（含53个项目，评分者间信度卡方值为0.9，重测信度为0.65）。研究对象包括552名精神分裂症患者、25名边缘型人格障碍患者、87名抑郁症患者。自我病理学在这三个诊断组之间有明显差异。验证性因素分析支持该理论模型。各种外部测量与自我病理学相关。通过对数据结构的统计搜索得出了三种实证综合征。一系列支持该概念有效性的论据表明，所提出的自我病理学概念是对精神分裂症实验核心进行实证研究的一种可行方法。
