Summary : The transition from nosography to formal classification and the rise of psychopharmacology have eclipsed psychiatric discussion throughout successive paradigms regarding the mentally disabled. This has subsequently gradually erased the thinking on the state of being and disease as a possibility to exist on its own. With the development of a concrete concept of ill human beings in “noso-logy”, in its strict sense, one would have to take into consideration all the different combinations of psychological alienation and physical changes. These two methods have joined together “being other than oneself”, in order to become a patient. Can nosology, thus defined be successful to unify the natural sciences and humanities? Could this then clearly show the limitations of today’s extensive mental health missions in psychiatry? We have attempted to show that the means required to build this type of nosology via reflection on one hand ethical and on the other epistemological at the patient’s bedside, i.e. a more in depth approach to the theory and practice. |
