Abstract
The main goal of this article is to introduce the essentialist and reductionist approach to psychopathology and to review the disadvantages of this approach. On the other hand, the goal is also to present another perspective of social constructivism, and explore the consequences of both approaches on society, and vice versa. Also, it was discussed the power of the currently dominant categorical essentialist approach to psychopathology and the reasons for its sustainability. The final goal of this article is to open space for discussion about different conceptualizations of psychopathology and their implications.
