"We do not accept 'schizophrenia' as being a biochemical, nuerophysi oloical, psychological fact , and we regard it as a palpable error, in the present state of evidence , to take it to be a fact . Nor do we ass ume its existence, Nor do we adopt it as a hypothesis. We propose no m odel of it... Our querstion is : are the experience and behavoir that p sychaitirsts take asd symtoms and signs of schizophrenia more socially intelligible than has come to be supposed?" -- pref to 2d ed., p. viii
