Extract

In the preceding translation we tried to provide a literal rendering of the complete original article, changing it only for purposes of clarity or comprehensibility. We now offer our own judgements of the content of the article. We have made them short because we believe most of the problems with the article by Smulevitch will be readily evident to anyone who normally has access to the British Journal of Psychiatry, and who may compare our original article (Merskey & Shafran, 1986) with the content of the Smulevitch one.
