`The summaries of evidence have provided ready-made challenges to
previously unquestioned medical options ... the book provides a
challenging update on the nature of scientific inquiry.' - British
Journal of Clinical Psychology Despite nearly one hundred years of
research, very little progress has been achieved in the
understanding of schizophrenic behaviour. There remains
considerable uncertainty even about the fundamental features of the
hypothesised illness. Reconstructing Schizophrenia subjects the
difficult concept of schizophrenia to rigorous scientific,
historical and sociological scrutiny. They ask why a biological
defect has been assumed in the absence of hard evidence and look at
what can be done psychologically to alleviate schizophrenic
symptoms. Finally, they explore what new models and research
strategies are required in order to understand schizophrenic
behaviour. The result is a book that provides a distinctive and
critical perspective on modern psychiatric theories and which
demonstrates the severe limitations of an exclusively medical
approach to understanding madness.
