   • 1974, Thomas S. Szasz, M.D., chapter 8, in The Myth of Mental Illness, ISBN 0-06-091151-4, page 135:

     Abstract symbol systems, such as mathematics, are especially valuable for object-seeking for schizoid personalities. By means of such symbolizations, object contact may be sought and obtained, while at the same time a psychological distance may be maintained between self and other; it is virtually impossible to have a personal relationship and at the same time to maintain such distance.

2. (archaic) schizophrenic
