NATHANIEL LACHENMEYER: I think so. I think so. I don't think he ever recognized, though, that it was schizophrenia. I think prior to onset he was aware that he had problems that he was trying to address, in part, in his work as a sociologist. His graduate work, for example, was on schizophrenia, and I make the argument in the book that he did sort of anticipate what would happen. But once the symptoms actually emerged, that insight was lost. He had total lack of insight into the disorder.
MARTY MOSS-COANE: As a young boy, did you grow afraid of your father even while he was in the family and you noticed things were changing?
NATHANIEL LACHENMEYER: Not fear. It wasn't a fear of physical danger, but the behavior became so strange -- Mainly what I saw when I knew him before he left -- when I was about 11 -- was just an increased sense of desperation, and I think that can instill fear anyone.
MARTY MOSS-COANE: Let me turn to you, Dr. Battaglia. Help us understand what schizophrenia is. We talked a little bit about what it isn't. What is it?
