Associations among Domains of Self-Disturbance in Schizophrenia

A long line of research suggests that people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders have disturbances in the experience of self (Henriksen and Parnas, 2012; Hur et  al., 2014; Sass, 2014). Self-disturbances are abnormalities in the subjective experience of selfhood (Parnas et al., 2005). These self-disturbances have been conceptualized in several different ways by different research groups, including misattribution of agency (Voss et al., 2010), disrupted sense of body ownership (Röhricht and Priebe, 2006), impaired self-other distinction (Ferri et al., 2012), and disturbances in the subjective experience of self (Parnas et al., 2005).
