Jerusalem, Religious Awakenings and Schizophrenia

Stanley Schneider

Hebrew University, Michlalah Jerusalem College

The article explores how delusional processes are activated psychologically and how clinicians need to look beyond the seemingly non-reality aspect and instead listen to the delusion in the context of the patient's life experience. The social and spiritual context of Jerusalem, where some people decompensate and reconstitute themselves, is focused upon, as well as the delusional world of the schizophrenic.

Key Words: delusion • Jerusalem • prophecy • religion • schizophrenia
