Abstract

SEVIGNY, Robert  and  LOIGNON, Christine. Schizophrenia in China: Lu Lu’s experience. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2005, vol.11, n.18, pp.159-177. ISSN 1677-1168.

The present study analyses a personal experience of schizophrenia in a changing chinese society from the perspective of clinical sociology. The clinical approach is based on the working hypothesis where the personal experience and the experience of society are one and the same and are to be understood as integrated. This approach also draws from the analysis of the relationship between experience and representation. Finally, the present study suggests ways to think about treatment and social rehabilitation in the context of clinical sociology. The monography of Lu Lu’s experience is part of a study conducted in Beijing between 1992 and 1995 with twenty patients who had been hospitalized at Hospital X and who were diagnosed, from a medical point of view, with schizophrenia.

Keywords : Schizophrenia; Chinese society; Clinical sociology; Experience and representation.
