hebephrenia [‚hē·bə′frē·nē·ə]
(psychology) A type of schizophrenia marked by disorganized thinking, mannerisms, and regressive caricaturing that is seen in some adolescents, such as silliness, unpredictable giggling, and posturing. Hebephrenia a mental illness, one of the forms (adolescent) of schizophrenia. Hebephrenia develops during the period of sexual maturation. It manifests itself in absurd behavior and disconnected, bizarre speech. The actions of persons affected with hebephrenia are marked by playfulness and theatrical mannerisms. Hallucinations are possible. One of the most typical features of hebephrenia is a combination of grotesque delicacy of manner with silly cheerfulness. The course of the disease may show periods of improvement, which are usually the result of medication. The treatment is the same as with other types of schizophrenia, including insulin therapy and psychotropic drugs. N. D. MIKERINA Want to thank TFD for its existence?

This makes for hebephrenic reading, as these latter groups are, of course, not counted as creatives in his data, but middle managers are, adding an unintentionally humorous twist to his endlessly repeated paean to the joys of the creative life. Hirschhorn's work thus confronts an advanced state of fetishization, one from which all ambiguity has been extra Recognizing the protototalitarian conditions of consumer culture, Hirschhorn's practice confronts the linguistic spasms generated by the iterative experience of name recognition and the perceptual branding enforced by the stridency of design with a delinquent mimesis and a hebephrenic semblance of disintegration and destitution. |
