Abstract
SummaryBased on experimental‐psychological investigations on schizophrenics of (1) resumption of interrupted activities, (2) retention of completed and uncompleted tasks, (3) substitute value of substitute actions, (4) activities of different degrees of reality, (5) psychical satiation, and (6) effect of success and failure on displacement of level of aspiration, a dynamic theory of schizophrenic personality has been developed.Schizophrenic personality is characterized by pathological fluidity of psychical material with dedifferentiation of inner personality structure.Symptomatology has been interpreted dynamically as modes of reaction of the pathologically changed person as a whole to his correspondingly changed world.
