Abstract
The use of Neural Net's Theory in the analysis of Psychopathological productions in Schizophrenia is shown to provide means to attain a better understanding of these phenomena.
Empirical data which were obtained using an approach based in the notion of script or frame are analized as a structure of knowledge in which a Neural Net interpretation of the concepts of Signification and Intention produces a relevant insight into the semantic structure of psychopathological disturbances in Schizophrenia.
