The DSM doesn't define diseases in the biological sense.
It provides clinicians with agreed descriptions of symptoms, helping doctors diagnose patients consistently.
The first edition, the DSM-1, was published in 1952.
Now, by modern standards, it is brief.
It reflected the influence of psychoanalytic thinking and it often described mental illnesses in broad, rather subjective language.
And schizophrenia was largely characterised by disturbances in thinking, emotional withdrawal, disordered relationships with reality, and what psychiatrists called autistic thinking.
A historical psychiatric term referring to withdrawal into one's inner world.
which is not autism spectrum disorder as we understand it today.
The emphasis remained largely on withdrawal, detachment, emotional distance and patients turning inward.
But by 1968, the DSM-II arrived.
The manual still wasn't a checklist in the way later editions would become, but the language surrounding schizophrenia had noticeably shifted.
Descriptions increasingly highlighted hostility, aggression, suspiciousness, belligerence, paranoid thinking.
Patients were more frequently described as argumentative, combative and hostile towards authority figure.
Now, to be absolutely fair, many people experiencing paranoid schizophrenia can develop persecutory delusions involving governments, police, neighbours or authority figures.
modern psychiatry does recognise this as one possible manifestation of psychosis.
The issue was that psychiatrists weren't describing paranoia.
The issue was whose paranoia they were increasingly choosing to describe.
Because by the late 60s, examples of suspiciousness toward authority were appearing in and in America where black citizens had a very good reason to distrust authority.
The FBI was monitoring civil rights organisations.
Police brutality was widespread and government agencies were infiltrating activist groups.
