Extract

Schizophrenia research is affected by the current change of scientific paradigms of thinking and investigation. The 1960s and 1970s were mainly characterised by a theoretical shift from a unifactorial towards a multifactorial view of the aetiology of schizophrenia, while in the 1980s, traditional linear models of pathogenesis have been more and more given up in favour of systems models.
