2001 May 12, Eva Erman, En medicinsk slasktratt, Dagens Nyheter:Mina associationer för mig till ordet schizofreni och hur detta användes mer eller mindre som en slasktratt inom psykiatrin under större delen av det förra seklet. De psykiska symptom man inte riktigt kunde förstå kunde man i alla fall föra in under benämningen schizofreni.- My associations bring me to the word schizophrenia and how it was used more or less as a dumping ground within psychiatry for the greater part of the last century. The psychological symptoms you didn't really understand you could at least put under the heading of schizophrenia.
