Autocognitive developmental disorders of structured psychosocial stress}, author = {Rodrick Wallace}, year = {2003}, keywords = {American apartheid, chronic inflammation, comorbidity, developmental disorder, evolution, information theory, mental disorder, punctuated equilibrium, schizophrenia}, url = {http://cogprints.org/2898/}, abstract = {We explore regularities in comorbid psychiatric and chronic inflammatory disorders from an extension of Irun Cohen's perspective on autoimmune disease, finding that structured psychosocial stress can literally write a distorted image of itself onto child development, resulting in a life course trajectory to characteristic forms of comorbid mind/body dysfunction. Extension of the approach appears possible for schizophrenia and associated conditions, although without such direct relation to structured stress.} }
