[Xmca-l] Re: Cultural perspective on child and adolescent psychopathology

[Huw Lloyd]

Hi Martin,

You could try citations on exemplary papers, such as Bateson's work on
schizophrenia.

The term "identified patient" will probably draw a large net, however I
would imagine that these are more likely lighter on any kind of genetic and
cultural analysis, probably using fairly weak systems notions. However,
from the perspective of (under) graduate studies, perhaps this is more
appropriate.

>From a broader social perspective, pathology is everywhere, albeit
notionally invisible. POSIWID can help with seeing this. E.g. is it a
pathology that institutions encourage people to think they are poor
learners?

Best,
Huw
