Has a realist bias. Rewrite from more NPOV. Daniel C. Boyer

"A person who suffers from psychosis is said to be "out of contact with reality" in which "reality" means the generally accepted cultural consensus." What is this if not blatant reality enforcement? I don't argue that something like this sentence belongs in the article but the attitude critical of it should be acknowledged too.--Daniel C. Boyer (Particularly troubling is the effect the notion of "out of contact with reality" has when something like this phrase is included in a mental hygiene statute, which means (at least in theory) that the statute can be brought to bear against idealists, surrealists, irrealists, Hindus, &c. --Daniel C. Boyer
