Despite nearly one hundred years of research, very little progress
has been achieved in the understanding of schizophrenic behavior.
Although it is widely believed that schizophrenic symptoms reflect
an underlying biological disorder, the evidence for such a disorder
remains disputed and many different biological defects have been
implicated. There remains considerable uncertainty even about the
fundamental features of the hypothesized illness.
"Reconstructing Schizophrenia" subjects the difficult concept of
schizophrenia to rigorous scientific, historical, and sociological
scrutiny. The contributors, who are all psychologists with
considerable research and clinical experience in the field of adult
psychopathology, examine the concept of schizophrenia, 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
researchstrategies are required in order to understand
schizophrenic behavior. 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.
