Issues in the diagnosis and classification of schizophrenia



Today we looked at why it is difficult to diagnose schizophrenia - and reasons for why the diagnosis could be low in reliability and validity. This is not just a historical problem. You need to be able to discuss some of the reasons behind this difficulty, and where appropriate to cite relevant studies.

The original Rosenhan article ('On being sane in insane places') is here.

Today's powerpoint is here.
