The paradoxical self: Awareness, solipsism and first-rank symptoms in schizophrenia
Solipsism is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind.
Solipsism is sometimes expressed as the view that I am the only mind which exists, or My mental states are the only mental states.
Schizophrenia as a pathology of self-awareness has attracted much attention from philosophical theorists and empirical scientists alike. I view schizophrenia as a basic self-disturbance leading to a life world of solipsism adopted by the sufferer and explain how this adoption takes place, which then manifests in ways such as first-rank psychotic symptoms.
I then discuss the relationships between these symptoms, not as isolated mental events, but as end-products of a loss of agency and ownership, and argue that symptoms like thought insertion and other ego-boundary disorders are by nature a multitude of paradoxes created by a fragmented awareness.
I argue that such fragmentation does not always require or lead to a delusional elaboration as the definitive feature of its phenomenology, and present reasons for the role of the first-person pronoun as a mere metaphor used to represent the patient’s bizarre experiences where sensory perception and thinking processes converge. Further, I discuss the initial benefits of adopting a solipsistic stance and how despite being a maladaptive strategy, it nevertheless acts as a protective barrier for the integrity of one’s self. Lastly, I offer some suggestions for clinical practice, emphasizing the importance of understanding the patient’s suffering in any therapeutic alliance.

What is special about tamarack trees
The tamarack, or hackmatack as some call it, and its relatives are our only deciduous conifer. It sheds all its needles every autumn. The needles are only about an inch long. In the spring they are bright golden-yellow-green, in summer a warm blue-green, darker than the pines, and rich golden tan in the autumn.

Always found Blackwood's The Willows the most bladder-shattering bit of terror I inprose. The Danned is ok too.
