期刊介绍:
Psychopathology is a record of research centred on findings, concepts, models, and diagnostic categories of experimental psychopathology and clinical psychiatry. Studies published are designed to improve and deepen the knowledge and understanding of the pathogenesis and nature of psychopathological symptoms and psychological dysfunctions.
Furthermore, the validity and reliability of concepts applied in the neurosciences of mental functions, in descriptive psychopathology, phenomenology and psychiatric diagnosis are evaluated. Major topics of the journal are trajectories between biological processes on the one hand and psychological dysfunction on the other. Experimental psychopathology and neuropsychology as well as philosophy-based phenomenology contribute to this field. Other important aspects include interrelationships between concepts of dysfunction and the influence of therapy, i.e. salutogenetic mechanisms.
