The article reporting the study is on the British Medical Journal website, available in full &#8211; http://www.bmj.com/content/344/bmj.e2233 It&#8217;s curious to see how it is being reported in the press.  One article, in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the field of &#8220;psychosis&#8221; it seems that many things are discovered, then forgotten again, and it is left to future generations to rediscover them. Carl Jung, one of the founding fathers of modern psychology, had a lot of insights about so-called &#8220;schizophrenia&#8221; that our modern mental health system has failed to incorporate. While Jung [...]]]></description>
