Nouvelles influences pour la nosographie psychiatrique

Abstract

It seems legitimate to wonder about the influence that digital technologies could have on the unstable field of psychiatric classifications. For example, passive data collection is a form of monitoring that seems to promote dimensional approaches, more able to represent global trends or breaks than categorial classification based on symptomatology. The enthusiasm around these technologies needs to be recontextualized, and a realistic short-term development could lead to a form of digital assistance, requiring the development of a new type of therapeutic education: personal health data management.
