MUZQUIZ JIMENEZ, Álvaro. The construction of psychopathology and psychiatric practice. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2013, vol.33, n.119, pp.575-592. ISSN 2340-2733. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0211-57352013000300008.
Psychiatry seems condemned to a perpetual fragmentary theoretical approach. Historical, social, psychological and biological narratives or conventional pluralism -a blend of them all-, can only account for isolated and incomplete parts of a complex psychiatric reality. It is necessary to be able to analyze psychiatry in its entirety. To that end, in this paper psychopathology is investigated as a crossroad where these fragments are in an interwoven relationship. The main conclusion is that, in order to understand psychopathology and its objects properly, they must be considered connected with a practice determined by politics. Finally, some consequences for a theory of symptom individuation are drawn.
