He then examines the implications of his approach for psychiatric classification and psychopathology. Proposing what he calls a scientifically inspired pragmatism, Zachar considers such topics as the essentialist bias, diagnostic literalism, and the concepts of natural kind and social construct. 410 0$aPhilosophical psychopathology. 606 $aPsychology, Pathological 606 $aMetaphysics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPsychology, Pathological. 615 0$aMetaphysics. 676 $a616.89 700 $aZachar$b Peter$0909659 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464700103321 996 $aA metaphysics of psychopathology$92486584 997 $aUNINA
