Erm, manic depression as distinct from schizophrenia was basically established by Emil Kraepelin in the 1880s.
Dr. Whitaker could be going full Foucault, but as well established by Hollywood, you never go full Foucault.
- tcj_phx 10y ago> Erm, manic depression as distinct from schizophrenia was basically established by Emil Kraepelin in the 1880s. The physiological basis for scihzophrenia wasn't figured out and ignored until the 1970's. > Dr. Whitaker could be going full Foucault, but as well established by Hollywood, you never go full Foucault. Robert Whitaker is a journalist, not a doctor. He's sort of like the kid who points out that the emperor got swindled by his tailors. I like the reference to the quote from Tropic Thunder, but I'm not up to date on Foucault's contributions to philosophy.
