内容説明
William F. Flack, Jr., Daniel R. Miller, and Morton Wiener What is schizophrenia?l This was the seemingly simple question posed to a diverse group of investigators asked to present their views at a conference sponsored by the Frances L. Hiatt School of Psychology at Clark University, Worcester, Massachusetts, in June, 1990. The plan was to have a small group of theoretically minded clinicians and investigators from different professions and orientations convene to discuss and debate conceptual and metatheoretical issues surrounding "schizophrenia." Instead of concentrating on the latest empirical findings, we were primarily interested in having a series of exchanges 2 about the very different meanings and uses of this concept. In our review of the literature on schizophrenia, we uncovered what seemed to us to be multiple, non-overlapping uses of the term. For some investigators, it appears to be used to specify certain kinds of people; for others, it is employed to refer to certain kinds of behaviors. For still others, the term is grounded in biochemical events, or in socioculturally specific actions. A number of alternatives are explored in the contributors' papers in this volume.

内容説明
What is schizophrenia? Lately, there has been a proliferation of diagnostic criteria, and generally a more optimistic view of the outcome of schizophrenic illness, seen as a curable illness. Some researchers expect that the aetiology of schizophrenia, largely unknown now, will be understood soon, whereas others do not expect this to happen, at least not in the near future. But most workers in the field assume now that schizophrenia is aetiologically heterogenous, and that it will eventually be broken down into several sub-populations. Schizophrenia may consist of complex interactive processes for which there is not one cure, such as a shot of penicillin, that would simply eliminate it. It brings up the question: is schizophrenia a disease? The question is not easy to answer and soon calls for another question: what is a disease? The theme of this book is the search for a definition of schizophrenia which would encompass its essential characteristics. While more optimistic views of schizophrenia and its outcome dominate the field now than in the past, there is still great controversy on the nature of its aetiology, still largely unknown, its boundaries, and its nature as a disease.
