schizo

The term “schizoid” refers to the Greek for a split or cleft, as in schism, and signifies how someone can be emotionally split from everyone else. [source: visionsteen.com] Harry Guntrip (1901-1975), British psychotherapist, classifies a secret schizoid as someone who behaves with socially available, interested, engaged, and involved interaction, yet remains emotionally withdrawn and sequestered within the safety of the internal world. That leads me to this query: are contemporary Catholic dissenters secret schizoids?
