TRANSCRIPT
Daniel Knafo, PhD: “Take These Broken Wings.” Working with schizophrenics challenges our own sense of ourselves and our own beings in many, many ways. Sometimes that can be exciting, as I said, and sometimes that can be pretty threatening. Sometimes you feel you’re going out of your mind.
I think it’s also just easier to say, “This is genetic.” “It’s a chemical imbalance and let’s just treat it with drugs.” And it reflects our culture in general that we’re moving towards quick fixes and easy ways out. Whatever can do things quickly is what we want to move people toward.
And to really do the work that I’m saying is necessary, it takes time.
