Malattia mentale come disfunzione biologico-evolutiva: meccanismi neurali, attività pertinenti ed effetti selettivi

Malattia mentale come disfunzione biologico-evolutiva: meccanismi neurali, attività pertinenti ed effetti selettivi

Mental Illness as biological-evolutive Dysfunction: neural Mechanisms, pertinent Activities and selected Effects In this paper I discuss the naturalistic and objectivist concept of mental illness as biological dysfunction. I argue for the so-called selected effect accounts, as alternative to bio-st...
