I would like you to read the monologue below provided by Osberg (1992); in it, he demonstrates the symptoms of schizophrenia.
Please identify and explain four symptoms of the disorder that appear in the monologue below,
“Okay class, we've finished our discussion of mood disorders. Before I go on I'd like to tell you about some personal experiences I've been having lately. You see I've been involved in high abstract type of contract which I might try to distract from your gaze if it were a new craze [pause] but the sun god has put me into it the planet of the lost star [pause] is before you know and so you'd better not try to be as if you were one with him always fails because one and one makes three and that is the word for three which must be like the tiger after his prey and the zommon is not common it is a zommon's zommon. But really class, what do you think about what I am thinking about right now? You can hear my thoughts can't you? I'm thinking I'm crazy and I know you put that thought in my mind. You put that thought there! Or could it be that the dentist did as I thought? She did! I thought she put that radio transmitter into my brain when I had the Novocain! She's making me think this way and she's stealing my thoughts!”
