The presentation will cover 3 aspects of reality:

  1. 1) Reality as resistance;

  2. 2) Reality as actuality;

  3. 3) Reality as correct insight.

    A brief consideration of the nature of these in normals will be given.

A descriptive account of the psychopathology of each aspect will be then discussed, with particular emphasis on:

  1. a) undue resistance in depressive illness;

  2. b) qualitative differences in actuality, i.e experience of external world and body in schizophrenia;

  3. c) so-called “depressive realism” as a more correct insight into ones owen actions than is possessed in normals.
