Fought Disorder: A First-Person Psychosis Corpus
This resource presents Fought Disorder in a research-facing form: a first-person psychosis corpus and associated materials intended to support careful descriptive and interpretive work on language, meaning-making, and experiential structure under psychosis.
It is not a diagnostic tool and not a clinical guide. It exists to preserve continuity of authorship and to make the relationship between experiential description and linguistic analysis explicit.

Overview
The core aim is fidelity: to document the internal logic, affective texture, and interpretive pressure of psychosis in a form that can be referenced, cited, and discussed without reducing the material to symptom checklists or retrospective explanation.
If you arrived here from the book page, this dataset version is the “research object” framing of the same work: suited to citation, methodological discussion, and comparative analysis.
Scope and boundaries
This is interpretive material. It supports analysis of narrative structure, coherence and cohesion, salience, threat organisation, and the linguistic strategies used to maintain meaning under strain.
It does not support diagnosis, screening, or individual interpretation. Any clinical use would be a category error: the dataset is a document, not a person.
Access and citation
The canonical access point is the ResearchGate record linked above. If you are citing or teaching from this resource, treat the platform record as the authoritative reference for the most current version and any attached files.
If you prefer, we can also add a short “How to cite” line here once you paste the citation text from the ResearchGate page (I couldn’t fetch it directly due to rate limiting).
