The article describes certain aspects of negative psychosocial influence as a complex of specific exogenous-endogenous factors involved in the development of the schizophrenic process. For example, this is the lack of communicative-emotional parent-child relationships, in which one's own existential experience is not formed, which is necessary for the formation of value-motivational behavioral potential. As a result, there is an inability to self-reflection and internal self-regulation, which provoke, among other things, the mechanisms of alienation of the inner I. The issues of metacognitive potential deficits in persons suffering from schizophrenia (social cognition) are also touched upon.
