Answer to Question 1

Schizophrenia was first defined over 100 years ago by Kraepelin and Bleuler. Kraepelin termed the disorder dementia praecox to highlight its pervasive disturbances of perceptual and cognitive faculties (dementia) and its early life onset (praecox) compared with the dementia of old age. Bleuler focused on four core symptoms of the disorder: ambivalence, disturbances of affect, disturbance of association, and preference for fantasy over reality. He renamed the disorder schizophrenia to highlight the splitting of thought, affect, and behavior.

Answer to Question 2

Self-harm and suicide attempts can result from perceived abandonment or feelings of emptiness or nothingness. In addition, these behaviors can occur during dissociative episodes. Some individuals report that self-harm releases underlying mounting tension while others say that it helps them to know that they can still experience feelings. Finally, some people claim that it helps counteract a belief that they are somehow evil or tarnished.
