Note 14:
When this indiscriminate defense operates in a relatively pure form the
result may be paradigmatic schizophrenia, recognized clinically as disorganized
(hebephrenic) schizophrenia.
When other defenses and restitutive efforts play a
larger role other clinical pictures may arise.
For example, in catatonic
schizophrenia "freezing," unwittingly "playing dead," may
serve to prevent mad interactions. After a period of mutism, a catatonic
symptom, Anna said: "Considering how crazy I was it was fortunate I didn't
speak."
