Abstract
(en) Some powerful experiences can bring about a transformation in the way we think and see things. This paradigm shift is sudden, sometimes brutal, and occurs in 4 cognition-emotion stages. Paranormal experiences, by their exceptional nature, are predisposed to produce changes in our framework for understanding reality that seem to be traumatically scarring and which, if no new stable internal structure is established, could be one of the keys to understanding the emergence of a schizotypal personality.
