I'm reading a book about madness, ie psychosis, which discusses how the studies of psychiatrists and psychologists in the fifties and sixties were often long scale, thirty year biographies, which were able to study "spontaneous remission" or ways in which individuals with unmistakeable psychosis or "madness" adapted to their own "madness" and how it effected them in the world.
Then there was the breakthroughs in pharmaceuticals which actually do transform the illness and therefore the lives of sufferers, however many of them never experience the "adaptive curve" which was once so studied.
What do you think about this?
I'm mindful of the fact that this could reflect changes in research and development, studies academic and professional etc.
