Just before his 67th birthday, a bearded, scholarly-looking man suffering from leukoplakia appeared at the clinic of Vienna Rhinologist Marcus Hajek. The patient had a group of hard, smooth white spots on the inside of the jaw; expecting a trivial operation, he had not mentioned the visit to his family. But the operation went badly-the growth proved cancerous.

Medicine's war against schizophrenia, Bleuler argued, is as urgent as the drives against infectious diseases or cancer, but until now it has woefully lacked public support, largely because psychiatrists themselves differ so strongly about its causes...
