DESCRIPTION:Prof. Gordon Claridge\nWhen do we slip into a mental disorder?
  Gordon Claridge\, Emeritus Professor at the University of Oxford\, has de
 voted his career to demonstrate that states of madness\, such as schizophr
 enia\, represent an exaggeration of an already existing character that is 
 called schizotypy. Contesting the categorical views of madness\, Gordon Cl
 aridge adopts a view that posits a continuum between normality and patholo
 gy. Although schizotypy is partly hereditary\, Gordon Claridge particularl
 y opposes genetic theories of schizophrenia which argue that characteristi
 c genes lead only to illness. He proposes\, in contrast\, that schizotypy 
 is a healthy adaptive personality trait\, present in all of us and often a
 ssociated with the positive side of human nature\, such as creativity.
