There seems to be arguments for and against genetics re schizophrenia with both sides seeming to have 'political' reasons for supporting the line they do.
Many psychologists seem anti the genetic angle whilst psychiatrists are predominantly pro the genetic angle.

I think the best one can say is that the jury is out. Certainly twin studies point to some genetic contribution but if 'genetic contribution' was a prisoner in the dock he would perhaps have to be found innocent re 'beyond reasonable doubt' as the evidence stands .That is not to say those supporting the genetics argument
are necessarily wrong but if right have not proved their case sufficiently for the 'prisoner in the dock' to be convicted as things stand

In the spirit of fairness i post things pro and anti the genetic connection as and when i find them, with my own personal belief leading me to believe that there is some genetics involved but not as much as the pro genetic camp argue.

Either way this one is going to divide opinion for some time to come until a definitive case can be made either way .
