Sociology
The view of anti-psychiatrists like Scheff was that mental illness was:
a form of deviance, occurring when people challenged taken for granted expectations about interaction
a socially negotiated ‘insanity role’ into which anyone could drift
shaped by the processes of interaction taking place within the family and community
all of the above
all of the above
The diagnosis of mental illness is often contentious because some forms of it can be interpreted differently, as mere social deviance. Thomas Scheff explained schizophrenia in these terms, drawing on labelling theories of deviance. He said that schizophrenic behaviour broke some of the taken for granted, ‘residual rules’ of everyday interaction, such as conversational norms, which confounded people’s beliefs. Such behaviour was seen as bizarre and frightening, and evoked social reactions of concerned disapproval; the individual would be labelled as mentally ill and shepherded into the ‘insanity role’ by those close to them. 300-301
