Affect Logic and Schizophrenia

  • Conference paper
Schizophrenia and Youth

Abstract

The concept of affect logic was first presented in a journal article in 1981 (Ciompi 1981a) and later, more fully developed, in book form (Ciompi 1982). Since then it has been in a state of continual development (Ciompi 1986, 1988a); it is thus not something static, but an outline which is still in progress. Here only its main characteristics can be described.
