Sommario/riassunto

The main themes are: reflections related to the concept and uses of epidemiology, specifically in psychiatry and mental health; the methodological issues dedicated to social concepts contained in the concepts used in epidemiology; aspects of complexity inherent to the mental health / illness process. It thus offers the proposal to build the foundations of the three epidemiologies in the psychiatric domain: that of personality, that of psychological suffering and that of mental illness. It constitutes one of the most daring contributions to the establishment of consistent foundations, which serve as support for innovative mental health processes.
