Abstract
Contending that a religious impulse exists in the unconscious, this paper emphasizes the role of the ego in shaping that impulse in Reactive Schizophrenia. After describing religiosity in the adolescent neurotic and schizoidal personalities, the core of the paper shows how the "fractured ego" in Reactive Schizophrenia can range far and wide in building religious systems which, though bizarre, are often impressive in their complexity. The paper concludes with a comparison between religiosity in the religious thinker and in the Reactive Schizophrenic.
