First Sentence

"Two major claims have been made about the concept of schizophrenia: first, that it is a scientific concept or, at least, that those who use it work within a scientific framework (for example, Gottesman and Shields, 1982; Wing, 1988; APA, 1994; Sartorius, 1994; Ross and Pam, 1995) and, second, that the term refers to a particular kind of medical pattern known as a syndrome (Gottesman and Shields, 1982; Kendell, 1991; APA, 1994)."
