Quotes by Richard P. Bentall (?)

“There is no clear boundary between mental health and mental illness. Psychological complaints exist on continua with normal behaviours and experiences. Where we draw the line between sanity and madness is a matter of opinion.”

“has been suggested that the average age at which women develop schizophrenia symptoms is later than the average age for men because the female hormone oestrogen confers protection against psychosis (apparently, oestrogen shares some of the pharmacological properties of the neuroleptics, the class of drugs most widely used in the treatment of psychotic patients).9”

“All scientific theories, even those in the physical sciences, are developed in a particular cultural context. Although the context may help to explain the persistence of a theory in the face of apparently falsifying evidence, the fact that a theory arises from a particular context is not sufficient to condemn it. Theories and paradigms must be accepted, modified or rejected on the basis of evidence.”
