Phenomenology

Abstract

In some quarters schizophrenia has gained the reputation of a graveyard of research. Few findings stand the test of time, most of the pieces of this particular jigsaw seem to be missing, and it is not easy to make sense of those that are available. Even ‘hard’ scientific findings fail to be replicated, an example being the status of D2receptors in drug-naive schizophrenics (Wonget al, 1986; Fardeet al, 1987).
