From the new issue: Crossing the Threshold: An Epigenetic Alternative to Dimensional Accounts of Mental Disorders – Davide Serpico & Valentina Petrolini Abstract in alt text or read it here: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... #philsci #philsky #hpbio

ABSTRACT. Dimensional approaches in psychiatry involve a boundary between health and pathology understood as a difference in degree rather than kind, so that no qualitative distinction can be made between health and pathology. However, this approach raises epistemological and ontological issues. First, the major sources of evidence used are connected to different conceptualizations of how dimensional traits extend across health and pathology. Second, it relies on two core assumptions: that there is continuity from health to pathology at the symptomatic level, and that such continuity reflects an underlying continuity in the genetic liability for pathological conditions. Third, this view implies a linear relationship between genotype and phenotype. Drawing on epigenetics and developmental biology, we argue instead that mental disorders are stable, dynamic clusters that differ qualitatively from ‘healthy states’. This has both theoretical advantages and implications for clinical practice
