www.thelancet.com/psychiatry Vol 2 January 2015 23 In 1999 I was preparing for the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ membership exams. I remember reading up on schizophrenia and going through the list of Schneider’s fi rst rank symptoms. The way the disorder was described struck me as odd from the very start. I looked at the list and thought two people with completely diff erent symptoms—no overlap at all—could both have the same disorder. They could also have the exact same symptoms, but one person could have developed them in their teens and the other person in their 50s; no problem. I dismissed this thought as an idle musing and went back to revising. At that time I was working at an innerLondon rehabilitation ward that catered to patients who had a history of homelessness. It was then that I met Jacks and Mr B. I spent a lot of time with them, talking to their families and friends, and interviewing them about their experiences. I did my best to see things from their point of view. Their presentations resonated with my intuition. Here is what I believe their experience of their illnesses was like. I don’t presume to speak for them, but I will use their language rather than that of the diagnostic manuals. * Jacks is 46 years old when I meet him. His bloodshot fearful eyes remain fi xed on mine for longer than is comfortable. It is August and he wears dark brown corduroy trousers and hiking boots. He also sports a green knitted cardigan, a grey suit jacket shiny with age, a woollen multicoloured hat, and a bright purple padded coat. He slowly stands up and comes towards me warily. He is trying very hard to smile but only manages a brittle, forced expression closer to a grimace. I shake his hand, which feels dry and too warm. I introduce myself and we sit down to talk. We do this many times over months. I want to think he is less scared of me as time goes by, but I am not sure. Jacks lost control of his life in 1989, just after his 35th birthday. The whites in the satellite, he tells me, could not do much at fi rst, but it didn’t take them long to start eroding his defences. They zapped him with laser beams, sapping his strength and made it clear that he was not wanted where the whites lived. This was no place for him—no place for his people. Eventually, the whites in the satellite learned how to use its laser beams to control almost every aspect of Jacks’ life. They could crush his lungs or block his liver; they could even make his heart stop at any moment if they wanted. They also did things to his mind. They would suppress and take away any thoughts they did not like and they would put in the thoughts they wanted him to have. They made Jacks say mad things and act in mad ways, so eventually he drove away his wife and daughter. The whites in the satellite pushed him onto the streets to punish him. Who did Jacks think he was? He should not live in a nice home. He should not have a nice family. They punished him for his audacity. He should be out o
