“…The most conservative option would be the use an eponym since eponyms are neutral and avoid connotations (Kim and Berrios, 2001;Henderson and Malhi, 2014). None of the arguments put forward by those against the name change (e.g., Lieberman and First, 2007) would hold if the disorder were called using an eponym.…”

“…This new name, however, was questioned from the clinical standpoint, since it did not consider other key central psychopathological aspects of the disorder such as cognitive and negative symptoms (Keshavan et al, 2013). Henderson and Malhi (2014) suggested replacing schizophrenia with either "Psychotic Spectrum Disorder" or "Bleuler's Syndrome". Just as mongolism became Down's syndrome and senile dementia became Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia could be superseded by a term less freighted with stigma.…”

“…There were suggestions from the Work Group revising diagnostic classifications for ICD-11 that they would ‘give careful attention to the viability of the term schizophrenia’, and that they were ‘conscious that an exceptional opportunity exists for WHO to remove the word from the public and professional vocabulary’ 61. However, more recent indications suggest that only the definitions of subtypes will change—with ICD again following the lead of DSM 62.…”

A crisis of meaning: can ‘schizophrenia’ survive in the 21st century?

Both within clinical and wider societal discourses, the term 'schizophrenia' has achieved considerable potency as a signifier, privileging particular conceptual frames for understanding and responding to mental distress. However, its status has been subject to instability, as it has lacked indisputable biological correlates that would anchor its place within the canon of medical diagnosis. Informed by a semiotic perspective, this paper focuses on its recent history: how 'schizophrenia' has been claimed, appropriated and contested-and how this connects with its earlier history of signification. It also explores how the dominance of this signifier has influenced the ways in which people with the diagnosis may find themselves constructed in their interactions with professionals, family and wider society, and hence how they may come to see themselves. It is argued that, from a point in the 1990s when 'schizophrenia' had achieved an almost iconic status, the term is now subject to greater instability, with concerns and challenges being raised from both within and outside psychiatry. On the one hand, this uncertainty has triggered a 'calls to arms' from those within the psychiatric establishment who see diagnoses such as 'schizophrenia' as crucial to their professional identity and status. On the other hand, this has created spaces for new conversations and alliances between elements within neurology, psychiatry, social work and other professions, and between these and service users. Some of these conversations are casting doubt on the validity and utility of 'schizophrenia' as a construct, and are beginning to posit alternative regimes of signification.

“…Порой сами психиатры становятся участниками критики «психиатризации» [7,8]. Так, S. Нenderson, G. Malhi [9] посвятили свою работу «лебединой песне шизофрении». Они утверждают, что само слово «шизофрения» пугает людей, вызывая стигматизацию больного, тем более в повседневной речи оно используется уничижительно и этимологически абсурдно.…”

First part of this review (Chapter 1) demonstrates an ambiguous attitude toward psychiatry among professionals and in society in recent decades. The articles of supporters and opponents of psychiatry are also quoted. The authors describe the dynamics of the reflection of psychopathology in the main widely accepted classifications and manuals. Critical and negative opinions regarding the DSM-5, due to its role in the 'medicalization' processes, for the movement 'World Mental Health', are mentioned. The history of antipsychiatry movement and its results for psychiatry and society are analyzed as well. An analysis of the articles on the scientific basis of psychiatry and its intersections with other sciences is presented. Several examples of studies on brain networks in correlation with clinical data, which may have possible implications for the future, are quoted. The authors call for the 'cure for dichotomy' between mind and brain before treatment of the patient. According to the analysis of available data, this problem seems too hard to be solved, as it requires theological knowledge, of which we probably have not enough knowledge.
