    • Abstract symbol systems, such as mathematics, are espe-
    cially valuable for object-seeking for schizoid personalities. By
    means of such symbolizations, object contact may be sought
    and obtained, while at the same time a psychological distance
    may be maintained between self and other; it is virtually
    impossible to have a personal relationship and at the same
    time to maintain such distance.
