Abstract
This editorial coincides with the double special issue of TEXT on ‘lay diagnosis’. Each special issue comes with a biography of some sort— how a particular theme focus evolves over time and how different key players in the field become identified and invited to engage (sometimes in a dialogic format) in a debate of intellectual fervor. This special issue is no exception, except that it has a recoverable subplot surrounding an influential backstage character, Robert Hopper, to the memory of whom this issue is dedicated. Bob was the founder architect of this special issue, but sadly he did not live to see his dream realized in ‘text’.
