Berenbaum, Howard, and Frank Fujita. "Schizophrenia And Personality: Exploring The Boundaries And Connections Between Vulnerability And Outcome." Journal Of Abnormal Psychology 103.1 (1994): 148-158. PsycINFO. Web. 6 May 2013.
This paper discusses relationship between schizophrenia and personality including the issues, evidence, and overlap. The personality factors of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia are examined both before and after the onset of their psychoses. The personality of their relatives are also consider in factoring to get a clearer genetic picture. Schizophrenia is found to be associated with high levels of peculiarity and neuroticism and with low levels of extraversion. The factors that involve personality have a variety of variables that correlate to the psychopathology being used such as with the prognosis. I chose this source because the connection and overlap between schizophrenia and personality is a very important factor especially in concern with Hamlet. Since an individual’s personality will directly affect the symptoms of the disorder it can help if you better understand a generalized effect of personality on schizophrenia.

This book presents the ideas of melancholy and human though and emotion that would have been present during the 1600s. Melancholy is the general sense is most easily compared to clinical depression of today. While the ideas of the text are more philosophical and based as a medical text which generally ties much of the brains problems in with some problem of the body it is as close to psychological idea as it was known at the time. The main reason I picked this was to get a scope of how the mind was viewed by a more traditional medical mind instead of just the general public. Also, since this seemed to be a popular work around the time period it is possible that it would have had some influence of the writers of the time period. So that Hamlet might reflect so of its views.

This paper studies the overlap between dissociation, schizotpy, and unusual sleep experiences (including nightmares, vivid dreaming, narcolepsy symptoms, and complex nighttime behaviors). It presents that they all have a common hold on cognition and perception have overlapping symptoms for this reason. They show that unusual sleep experiences show specificity to dissociation and schizotypy compared to other daytime symptoms and other sleep disturbances. They focus on three distinct categories in which to look for an overlapping correlation they are biological abnormalities, trauma, and personality traits. They believe that symptoms result from problems with sleep–wake state boundaries, which may be precipitated by stress or trauma. I chose this study because it out lines important distinctions between these problems while also showing the possible duel effects that the overlap might yield that is not always prevalent in most cases. Especially, the nighttime idea is important towards the hallucinations that Hamlet has.
Shakespeare, William. “The Tragedy of Hamlet Prince of Denmark.” Vol. XLVI, Part 2. The Harvard Classics. New York: P.F. Collier & Son, 1909–14; Bartleby.com, 2001.
Hamlet is a play about a prince who’s father dies. His uncle marries his mother to become king. Soon Hamlet see’s his father’s ghost appear and tell him that he was murdered by his brother for the crown. Hamlet is then sent on a quest for revenge while he laminates about the betrayal done upon him and his father. His uncle and mother try to help him by asking around about what is wrong with them and what should they do. Hamlet sets up a play to draw out the guilt in his uncle but ends up not killing him anyway because he thing his uncle is repenting and he doesn’t want him to go to heaven. Eventually the uncle teams up with someone else to try and get ride of Hamlet but it back fires and almost all the main characters die.

This study evaluates depression in relation to patients with a stable diagnosis of schizophrenia. They use several well proven scales to test their subjects on including the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS), Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS), the Scale to Assess Unawareness of Mental Disorder (SUMD), the Simpson Angus Scale (SAS), and the Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS).. The had a group of 90 stable outpatients with diagnoses in, schizoaffective disorder, or schizophreniform disorder. None of these patients had been diagnoses with depression. The results showed the prevalence of depression was 31%. There was no correlation between depressive symptoms and positive symptoms, insight, and extrapyramidal symptoms; and the correlation with akathisia was low. The reason I chose this study was because I was looking into the related disorders of schizophrenia and depression was a very important factor to see effect of.
