Many people with the symptoms commonly associated with schizophrenia (auditory verbal hallucinations, delusions, etc.) do not seek medical help True, and if also others do not seed medical intervention for (or against) them, they are not diagnosed. So I think it would actually be relatively easy fo...

Does anyone know if this been attempted in patients with schizophrenia? The problem with such research is that it cannot be valid because: *There is no agreed definition of schizophrenia; *There is no objective test for it; *All people perceived by doctors to be "schizophrenic" are drugge...

Re: Psychopathy and Julian Jaynes' Theory

Your post is confusing because gungasnake refers to consciousness as being missing from psychopaths, explaining their behavior. He speaks of empathy being missing. I pointed out that we don't know what is meant by "psychopath" as this category is no longer used. I also pointed out that Ut...

Schizophrenia: An Invalid Concept

What Jaynes did so well for consciousness, he failed to do for schizophrenia, i.e. define what he's talking about. What schizophrenia is, is highly controversial, and its official symptoms are changed with every new edition of the DSM. In short, it is a meaningless term. What Jaynes was in reality r...
