Guenter Kochendoerfer & Michael Schecker: Schizophrenie, Psychopharmaka und Stottern [Schizophrenia, neuroleptic drugs and stuttering]. Tuebingen: Narr 1998. On the background of empirical data concerning language and cognitive disturbances in schizophrenia, the authors developed a new, revolutionary and highly explanatory hypothesis of the impairment by simulating neural structures. A very important aspect of this hypothesis is the point that different schizotypical symptoms can be explained by one particular cause. An important step toward this prevailing hypothesis was the simulation of the effects of medicals in stuttering (e.g. Haloperidol). |
