While quotes on the pages for ipseity disturbances and formal thought disorder pertain directly to that topic and are used to exemplify it with minimal commentary, this is a general quotes page for any manner of schizospec-related quotes, from any source. They are included on the basis that I like them for any reason, and I may or may not decide to let them stand on their own or elaborate on what I personally see in them. Quotes do not necessarily have to be intended as about the schizospec either, though, those quotes are most likely to have commentary on their inclusion. Quotes from the other pages may reappear here if I feel particularly passionate about them.
Collapsibles are sorted by authors, then works, then miscellaneous quotes, based on how much I plan to include from them. For example, R.D. Laing (will have)/has his own section, under which quotes will be sorted by which work they belong to—whereas Elyn Saks does not have her own section because I currently do not plan on reading anything more from her than The Center Cannot Hold. The miscellaneous section is for quotes that are from one-off sources, or a handful of quotes from one particular study whose authors I do not plan to read more of. A "miscellaneous" section nested under an author will be for distinguishing multiple quotes from the same work (which are under their own sections) and single quotes from a variety of works, this is for ease of my citation.

Miscellaneous
We have previously argued that the current borderline personality disorder (BPD) diagnosis is over-inclusive and clinically and conceptually impossible to distinguish from the schizophrenia spectrum disorders...We argue that the original prototypes/gestalts informing the creation of BPD and SPD have gone into oblivion during the evolution of polythetic criteria.

It's based because researchers need more passion. I mean they're also right, but it's primarily here because of the passion conveyed.
