Schizophrenia stuff. 

I don't believe in the concept of 'schizophrenia', but I am using the term as a kind of shorthand to refer to a body of research literature and clinical practice within which the term is bandied about. The idea of schizophrenia itself has been the subject of a number of convincing critiques, especially by Mary Boyle (1990) in 'Schizophrenia: A scientific delusion' and by Theodore Sarbin (1990) in the Brown Library (also listed below). 

The list below contains a few newspaper articles and a small number of academic pieces concerning the idea of 'schizophrenia' and I have tried especially to include material which emphasises the social, cognitive and any other aspects which have been addressed from a social-psychological point of view  

As usual, the inclusion of the material in here does not necessarily mean I believe in it. A good deal of the material, for example seems to take the concept of schizophrenia for granted. However, I am developing this part of the site as a resource containing material that offers some insight into those aspects of the syndrome and its treatment that are not obsessively locked into the medical model.. 

On a practical note, a number of these files are in *.pdf format. They may take a while to download, especially if you are browsing from a  rural area. Please do not be alarmed if your computer appears to have died for a few minutes. Obviously, if it does nothing for hours on end you may wish to reload, reconnect, reboot or reset as appropriate. You'll also need the Adobe Acrobat .pdf viewer, which you can download if you haven't got it already.
