Pathological science
Pathological science is the process by which "people are tricked into false results ... by subjective effects, wishful thinking or threshold interactions". [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The term was first used by Irving Langmuir , Nobel Prize -winning chemist , during a 1953 colloquium at the Knolls Research Laboratory. Langmuir said a pathological science is an area of research that simply will not "go away"—long after it was given up on as 'false' by the majority of scientists in the field. He called pathological science "the science of things that aren't so". [ 3 ]

Sergei Korsakoff, Alois Alzheimer, James Parkinson, Hans Asperger and other eminent scientists, are all names which have become synonymous with a disease, a syndrome, or an autistic disorder. Although the names of these psychiatrists and neurologists are familiar, we often know little about the individuals themselves and the circumstances surrounding their discoveries. What exactly did they discover, and who were their patients?
