> I'll read the harrisonpope statement.prize offer later, but from a glance, it seems their problem is with the "repressed memory" people, which is quite separate from the issue of madness or schizophrenia.
Right. But their argument seems to go a little like this: Can't find a care therefore phenomena is not a 'natural human phenomnea' therfore phenomena is bogus. All I'm saying is that some people seem to think that it is hard to find an uncontroversial case of schizophrenic symptoms prior to 1800 hence according to their argument...
The notion is to show that their argument doesn't work by analogy...
Or they could of course conclude that their argument is fine and hence whatever conclusions they want to draw about the social construction of repressed memories would also (probably) apply to the social construction of schizophrenia.
