Medical student currently on my Psychiatry rotation and I've really taken an interest to Schizophrenia and the other psychotic disorders.

Does anyone have good reading on:
>The Self
>Self consciousness
>Loss of self

'Der Einzigeund sein Eigentum' is all about the self and illustrates mental illness exceedingly well.

one time I dropped LSD and forgot who I was, where I was, who my friends were and even forgot the fact I took LSD. One of the most eye opening experiences of my life. I was like a baby, except I could still talk and use words.

Probably not what you're looking for but Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia and A Thousand Plateaus are cool books. Probably not what you're looking for though.

Thanks famalam, will have a look.

Appreciate the suggestions anon but not really what I was looking for.
Kinda like your experience with LSD I was hoping for books which explore that complete disassociation from reality and the self.

Somewhat related, and completely fascinating is Julian Jaynes' The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bi-cameral Mind.

Unreasonable autistic reaction to unreasonable autistic 'philosophy of personhood' -- bears no relevance to the psychology of the self

In other words, it explores your query in reverse.

Thats exactly what Capitalism and Schizophrenia is about, but applied to the form of theory. But yeah, like I said, probably not what you want. You want schizophrenia theorized in a non-schizomatic form.

Heard of this book unironically from WestWorld
>Normie get out reee

Definitely will be picking it up, the premise of early man's conscious thought being heard as a external voice sounds eerily similar to the Auditory hallucinations in Schizophrenia.

That's the premise. We begin schizophrenic. Schizophrenia viewed therefore (like tail stubs) as an avatarism. Lots of ancient backing. Fun.
