A conceitualização da violência por esquizofrênicos em surto

Abstract

We researched the violence category by checking the scale of prototypicality a survey of samples mentioned by informants in schizophrenic episode. Our goal was to see whether there were significant differences between the prototypicality scales proposed by these informants, and whether the differences, implied recognizing distinctions between the best and worst examples of this category. As a theoretical framework, we adopted the postulates of Rosch, Gray and Boyes-Braem (1976a), Lakoff (1987), Eysenck and Keane (1994), Medin and Ross (1996), Jacob Shaw (1998), among others. We found that patients with schizophrenia maintained the ability to categorize violence similarly to the period of remission. The most cited synonym for violence was "prison". In harmony with this preference, they said that most violence was to be imprisoned.
