In reply to The Myth of neurosis, posted by vale on April 21, 2006, at 16:28:23
That's like saying DNA is a myth, so is RNA, so are genes, and so are the proteins made from them. Are they a myths too? Neurosis is an expansive, imprecise term, which, as it turns out, covers a variety of environmental and genetic interactions. So, to say it is a myth is really to say nothing at all, or enough to sell an ancient screed. We find out each week, it seems, the degree to which knock-out genes drastically effect behavior. Some people are pre-disposed by virtue of their genetic structure to have brains wired and cosntructed different each from the next. In fact, some of these come out in the form of Downs symdrome or the like. That's a myth too, right?
