Seven controversial approaches to schizophrenia, each assuming a
distinctive model, biological, psychological, or social, are
presented by their leading exponents. Arnold and Edith Buss deal
with such fundamental issues as: What is the nature of
schizophrenia? What general approach does each theory represent?
What does each theory assume, what evidence does it require for
proof, and what follows if the theory is correct? While the various
approaches covered here have many differences and few similarities,
they are not all mutually contradictory, and several may be
combined into a larger synthesis. From a biological point of view,
schizophrenia is a disease like any other, originating in heredity,
tissue malformation, and physiological abnormality. The biological
approach is represented here by a theory focusing on genetic and
neurological aspects. The psychological approach treats
schizophrenia as a failure of adjustment. Within this framework
there is considerable disagreement. One theory emphasizes the
cognitive problems of perceiving, thinking, and problem-solving;
another centers on motivational disturbance, with its attendant
problems of anxiety and withdrawal; and two theories focus on
regressive behavior. Schizophrenia provides a stimulating basis for
discussion by presenting the etiology of schizophrenia in terms of
the most significant contemporary approaches. The juxtaposition of
these viewpoints enables the professor to maximize students'
interest as well as their insight into the complexity of
contradictory evidence and opinions.
