If we collect the writings of diagnozed schizophrenics we can study their syntax, their lines of reasoning, their thought patterns, and we could probably gain a better understanding of the illness itself. We have representatives from the entire schizophrenic spectrum whose printed output will probably be available on the internet sooner or later: the extreme left is represented by the likes of the Unabomber (and his deadly manifestos), on the extreme "self-disciplined" right is Joh Nash (and his Nobel gems), and in the middle (and probable majority), the likes of that nurse diagnosed with schizophrenia who kept a diary of her lifelong struggle (I forget her name). Help me gather these materials via the forum? (If its all right with the forum Master) and all forum members can put in their two-cents worth. Let's all be neuro-biologists moderated by scientists and other people with blingingly sharp Occam's Razor.
Jea not bad idea but still lot of data to find we need a plan to do it.. a leader who will point in right direction am in if someone direct me in right direction
As I recall there was a researcher named 'van Domarus', or nearly, who is said to have identified what he figured were patterns of thinking characteristic of people in the grips of what for want of nicer terminology can be called psychosis.
That was some time back and by the laws of unoriginality, other people should have plodded on along those lines.
So has anyone any leads to this 'van Domarus' fellow or his ilk?
