The 
Galactic Illumis POURRITURE
â Others see them as eccentric, different, weird, odd, or strange. Excessively anxious around others, they keep themselves separated and isolated, even from those they have known for long periods of time. Some seem absorbed in stimulation that derives from their own internal world and may have difficulty expressing their thoughts and feelings coherently. When engaged interpersonally, they may seem distracted or unable to focus or even ramble from subject to subject. Emotions may have a constricted range or be completely inappropriate to objective events. They may have odd beliefs unsubstantiated by science; for example, they can communicate telepathically or somehow read the future. Such individuals are called schizotypal personalities. Through their eccentricity, this structurally defective personality is set apart from other personality disorders. - Millon et al., 2004 [3] âž |

|
| |
| Expressive Behavior: Eccentric | Exhibits socially gauche and peculiar mannerisms; perceived by others as aberrant; disposed to behave in an unobtrusively odd, aloof, curious, or bizarre manner. |
| Interpersonal Conduct: Secretive | Prefers privacy and isolation, with few, highly tentative attachments and personal obligations; has drifted over time into increasingly peripheral vocational roles and clandestine social activities. |
| Cognitive Style: Autistic | Capacity to “read†thoughts and feelings of others is markedly dysfunctional; mixes social communications with personal irrelevancies, circumstantial speech, ideas of reference, and metaphorical asides; often ruminative, appearing self-absorbed and lost in daydreams with occasional magical thinking, bodily illusions, obscure suspicions, odd beliefs, and a blurring of reality and fantasy. |
| Regulatory Mechanism: Undoing | Bizarre mannerisms and idiosyncratic thoughts appear to reflect a retraction or reversal of previous acts or ideas that have stirred feelings of anxiety, conflict, or guilt; ritualistic or magical behaviors serve to repent for or nullify assumed misdeeds or “evil†thoughts. |
| |
| Self-Image: Estranged | Exhibits recurrent social perplexities and illusions as well as experiences of depersonalization derealization and dissociation; sees self as forlorn, with repetitive thoughts of life’s emptiness and meaninglessness. |
| Object-Representations: Chaotic | Internalized representations consist of a piecemeal jumble of early relationships and affects, random drives and impulses, and uncoordinated channels of regulation that are only fitfully competent for binding tensions, accommodating needs, and mediating conflicts. |
| Morphologic Organization: Fragmented | Possesses permeable ego-boundaries; coping and defensive operations are haphazardly ordered in a loose assemblage of morphologic structures, leading to desultory actions in which primitive thoughts and affects are discharged directly, with few reality-based sublimations, and significant further disintegrations into a psychotic structural level, likely under even modest stress. |
| Mood/ Temperament: Distraught or Insentient | Excessively apprehensive and ill at ease, particularly in social encounters; agitated and anxiously watchful, evincing distrust of others and suspicion of their motives that persists despite growing familiarity; or manifests drab, apathetic, sluggish, joyless, and spiritless appearance; reveals marked deficiencies in face-to-face rapport and emotional expression.

The history of the schizotypal personality disorder has been strongly influenced by a belief in its biological underpinnings and its linkage with schizophrenia. Further studies have now firmly established that some genetic relationship links the two disorders, though its exact nature, the specific gene or genes, and their chromosomal location remain unclear. For now, researchers can only say, for example, that when one family member carries a schizophrenia or schizotypal personality disorder, the risk that others do also is increased, and the positive (e.g., delusions, hallucinations) and negative (e.g., anhedonia, catatonia) symptoms are independently heritable. Presumably, some forms of schizophrenia may involve a single dominant gene, and other forms may involve multiple genes. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Whatever the case, the emerging view is that the schizotype - the schizophrenic phenotype - is really the fundamental disorder. In contrast, schizophrenia is simply the terminal point of a genetic predisposition, arising in conjunction with persistent environmental stress or trauma. Schizophrenia is the special case; the schizotypal personality is the general case and, therefore, the proper focus of investigation. Accordingly, researchers have now begun to extend the classic findings of schizophrenia research downward into the range of the schizotypal personality. Although thousands of studies on schizophrenics have been published, surprisingly little is known with certainty. The hope is that the study of the schizotypal personality will clarify and extend a great many tentative findings. The most straightforward hypothesis, which need not be supported for every line of research, is simply that every schizophrenic pathology should have a less pathological parallel in the schizotypal personality.

Insipid (with schizoid, depressive and dependent features) schizotypals experience a sense of strangeness and nonbeing. They seem overtly drab, sluggish, inexpressive, internally bland, barren, indifferent, and insensitive. Their thoughts are obscured, vague, and tangential, reporting bizzarre telepathic powers.
Timorous (with avoidant and negativistic features) schizotypals are warily apprehensive, watchful, suspicious, guarded, and shrinking. They deaden excess sensitivity, and alienate from themselves and others. They intentionally block, reverse, or disqualify their own thoughts. [6]
