Examples

  • In a study conducted in Turkey, for example, those who labeled schizophrenic behavior as akil hastaligi (illness of the brain or reasoning abilities) were more inclined to assert that schizophrenics were aggressive and should not live free in the community than those who saw the disorder as ruhsal hastagi (a disorder of the spiritual or inner self).
