Schizophrénie ; Perception sociale
This fascinating book examines how persons with schizophrenia understa nd and respond to their world. Unlike numbers, words, objects, or othe r "non-social" stimuli, social stimuli are abstract, fluid, immediate, reciprocal, fraught with personal meaning. While the ordinary person may have no trouble differentiating between the meaning of laughter in response to a joke and that in response to a social faux pas, the per son with schizophrenia may find it quite challenging.
