Abstract

Raballo et al.1 conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine body-centered spatial experiences in schizophrenia (SZ), specifically focusing on personal space (PS) and peripersonal space (PPS). While aberrant space experience is a recognized aspect of SZ, this study aimed to clarify how PS and PPS differ between SZ patients and controls. The authors found that SZ patients tend to maintain a greater interpersonal distance (enlarged PS) and exhibit a reduced PPS. Here, we comment on the systematic review and meta-analysis by Raballo et al.1 and introduce additional points to enhance the understanding of anomalous PS and PPS in SZ.
