No: Statement by UK Critical Psychiatry Network. (2011)

Statement by UK Critical Psychiatry Network, 2011.

"The year 2011 marks the one hundredth anniversary of the introduction of the diagnosis of schizophrenia by the Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler (Bleuler, 1911). In this article we propose that the best way to celebrate this event is to consign the diagnosis to history. In doing so, we declare our support for the position already set out by the Campaign for the Abolition of the Schizophrenia Label, that there can no longer be any justification for the continued use of the diagnosis because the way it is used is unscientific and harmful (CASL, 2010)."
