Abstract
Lack of self-continuity is a defining feature in schizophrenia, which involves the experience that the past self is not meaningfully connected to the present self. Self-continuity may be established through the life story. In this study-in-progress we examine whether patients with schizophrenia have less coherent life stories compared to healthy controls. 30 patients and 30 matched controls describe and rate up to 10 life story chapters and 3 self-defining memories (SDMs). We expect that patients will have less chronologically organized chapters and that they will rate degree of self-continuity and causal coherence lower for both SDMs and life story chapters.
