Recalling the acute psychotic experience

: In this study we have analysed the memory of the acute psychotic experience in chronic schizophrenics to evaluate the influence of memory on present symptomatology. We briefly examine the literature on this subject, then we describe some clinical cases trying to give a sense to the different way of "recovery", in schizophrenics. In particular we note that sensorial events of the acute psychotic experience have an important role in memory. Besides this study deepens some particular aspects of memory in schizophrenics.
