Abstract

The crazy talk exhibited by some mental patients is re-examined. Our inability to understand the other is not a valid reason for concluding that he is insane, much less than he has a brain disease. The seemingly senseless speech of persons called 'psychotic' resembles glossolalia or the religious phenomenon of 'gift of tongues' rather than a speech disturbance, such as aphasia, indicative of brain disease.

摘要

对一些精神病人表现出的疯言疯语进行了重新审视。我们无法理解他人，并不能成为断定他精神错乱的有效理由，更不能就此认定他患有脑部疾病。那些被称为“精神病患者”的人看似毫无意义的言语，更像是说方言或“说灵语”这种宗教现象，而不是像失语症等表明脑部疾病的言语障碍。
