这一关于精神病理学理论的特别部分提供了一个机会来收集正在挑战理解精神疾病的传统方法的新兴的、交叉的学术知识。在这里，我们评估该领域的理论状态，并强调在过于灵活、无挑战和本质上不可挑战的理论模型的背景下工作的陷阱，例如生物心理社会模型，我们认为它已经成为我们领域事实上的理论模型。我们进一步假设，理论缺陷是导致人们对我们在理解和治疗精神疾病方面的进展经常被引用的悲观情绪的原因，并介绍了本节论文作者对阐明精神病理学的新的、可证伪的理论的指控。我们简要地讨论了如何定义精神病理学这一相互交织的问题，并讨论了组成这一部分的一系列论文提出的一个关键问题，即如何概念化复杂因果系统的时空边界。然后，我们使用这个示意图来理解这些理论是如何相互关联的，以及它们正在争先恐后地取代的生物心理社会模型。归根结底，我们相信并希望理论思维的进步将促进临床预防和干预工作的研究和改进的更快进展和新的发展。
This special section on theories of psychopathology provides an opportunity to collect the emergent, cross-cutting scholarship that is challenging traditional approaches to understanding mental illness. Here, we appraise the state of theory in the field and emphasize the pitfalls of working in the context of overly flexible, unchallenged, and essentially unchallengeable theoretic models, such as the biopsychosocial model, which we argue has become the de facto theoretic model for our field. We further posit that theoretic shortcomings are contributing to the often-referenced pessimism regarding our progress in understanding and treating mental illness, and introduce the charge of the authors of the papers in this section to articulate novel, falsifiable theories of psychopathology. We briefly touch on the intertwined issue of how to define psychopathology and discuss a key issue raised by the array of papers comprising the section, namely how to conceptualize the spatiotemporal boundaries of complex causal systems. We then use this schematic for understanding how these theories relate to each other and to the vanilla biopsychosocial model they are vying to replace. Ultimately, it is our belief and hope that progress in theoretic thinking will catalyze faster progress in research and improvements to and novel developments in clinical prevention and intervention efforts.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
