520 _aClinical psychologist Richard Bentall challenges modern myths surrounding psychosis. He argues that we cannot define madness as an illness to be cured like any other; that labels such as schizophrenia and manic depression are meaningless, based on 19th-century classifications; and that experiences such as delusions and hearing voices are in fact exaggerations of the mental foibles to which we are all vulnerable.
