Project description
 

Negative symptoms have detrimental effects on quality of life of psychotic patients. However, few studies investigate how patients experience this themselves. Our research links the experience of negative symptoms to the phenomenological concept of psychosis as a self-disorder. Therefore, we
use bottom-up and top-down qualitative research strategies applied on interviews and a diary study with currently psychotic and recovered patients.
