In medicine[edit]

This section has no references and should likely be removed. It appears inconsistent with the scientific consensus on autism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.210.125.84 (talk) 15:55, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Complimentary[edit]

Um, complimentary schismogensis doesn't have to be between men and women. It can result when any two people don't share a cultural component to a communication. I'm going to edit the article to take that into account, and feel free to revert it if you wish -- Blain

Suggestion[edit]

Is it worth mentionning, sociololinguist, Deborah Tannen's adaptation of Bateson's "complementary schismogenesis?" She applies the term to conversations in that "each one's reaction to the other results in increasingly exaggerated forms of the opposing behavior."

Unsigned, but yes, it is. This page should also be brought under the purview of the Linguistics project. Irbisgreif (talk) 09:48, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

We need a reference to Bateson's original use of the word from the 1930s. Was it in Naven? And I found several references to Steven Feld. I presume the 1994 is the official version, but I'll just make a note of the others here. --RichardVeryard 14:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Double-negative switchback[edit]

For the most part, these groups of people belonged to different patrilineages who not only did not regularly renew their marriage alliances, but also interacted through the mode he called schismogenesis.

I'm completely bewildered as to how the 'but also' part relates to the 'not only did not' part. — MaxEnt 04:31, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And thus the naven ritual served to correct schismogenesis, enabling the society to endure.

Oh, good lord, I'm now even more bewildered by how 'thus' relates to anything that went before it. What's corrective? The text seems to be missing an entire paragraph, at least. — MaxEnt 04:35, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
