The Schizophrenias

  • Chapter

Abstract

The author who undertakes to write a handbook chapter on the phenomena conventionally included under the rubric schizophrenia—questions of his own sanity and proper intellectual humility aside—faces an enormously intimidating task. This would be true even if there were general agreement on the meaning of the term and more-or-less objective criteria for determining the presence or absence of the alleged state or condition in persons suspected of having “it.” Alas, as we shall see, neither of these desiderata applies in the case of schizophrenia. In addition, we are faced with a massive and bewildering array of research data generated over the past three-quarters of a century that purport to tell us important things about schizophrenia; doubtless some of them do, but it is a virtual certainty that much more of them do not. Separating the real advances from the many errant and misguided intellectual corpses that litter the landscape requires a most careful examination of evidence and concepts. The most recent comprehensive attempts—the latest volume in Bellak’s (1979a) approximately decennial compendium of critical research reviews and a recent offering by Neale and Oltmanns (1980)—comprise, respectively, 629 and 554 pages. Clearly, we can not meet that standard here. Even if space considerations were not at issue, it is doubtful that any single reviewer could marshal the breadth and depth of scholarship required. Our goal will be the more modest and selective one of presenting what are, in the author’s judgment, the main trends of contemporary thinking about schizophrenia and evaluating in broad but critical terms the evidence on which this thinking is based.
