“Social psychologist argued that even severe mental illness was the result of society labeling unusual behavior rather than of biochemical processes.”
Thomas Scheff

“Social theorists may be considered as belonging to the Zuni-like culture of scholars. Such cultures select persons who have repressed their emotions in the service of intellectual goals and develop norms and procedures which maintain the dominance of intellect over feeling. Scholarly theories of the human experience which exclude emotions are both product and causes of repression.”
Thomas J. Scheff, Catharsis in Healing, Ritual, and Drama
