1. Wonderful, thank you!

   Cogent and insightful. There is a huge lurking question which has not been asked which
   is the following: It has been demonstrated beyond a doubt that there is a genetic predisposition
   to the condition of schizophrenia. This is frequently used to justify the disease centred-model.
   However one has to interpret the finding. That genes are involved does not mean there is a specific
   neuro-chemcial problem as the way genes express themselves neurologically are likely so complex
   that the symptoms could be the result of functional psychological processes which nevertheless have a
   genetic underpinning. Like a kitchen knife which is slightly weaker but will not break if used correctly- hence
   the association of childhood trauma and the condition.

   So following the gist of the argument, how does one make sense of the role of genes in the drug-centred model?

   Thanks

   • Hi Alex,

     On what basis do you propose that a genetic predisposition to schizphrenia has been demonstrated beyond a doubt?
