RESTREPO, Jorge Emiro. Psychopathology and Epistemology. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2007, vol.36, n.1, pp.123-144. ISSN 0034-7450.

Introduction: This paper reviews the theoretical jam of modern psychiatry and outlines as a possible alternative of epistemological rehabilitation a study developed from the critical and analytical benefits stemming from philosophy of mind. Objective: To show the theoretical and epistemological advantages offered to psychopathology when conceptualizations and theorizations that stem from the cognitive paradigm are taken as foundations. Development: This analysis is done from the study of the cognitive paradigm and especially from the paradigm of information processing. The elements that conform and define the PIP are exposed, as well as the way that these are theoretically linked to the vast and well documented knowledge of modern descriptive psychopathology. Conclusion: The paper ends with a review of the epistemological and ontological presuppositions characteristic of the cognitive paradigm that arise from current formulations in philosophy of mind.

Palavras-chave : Psychopathology; epistemology; cognitive paradigm; information processing; cognitive distortion.
