Intentional content in psychopathologies requires an expanded interpretivism

Marc Slors et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2019 Jan.

Abstract

We argue that the explanatory role of intentional content in connecting symptoms in a network approach to psychopathology hinges neither on causality nor on rationality. Instead, we argue that it hinges on a pluralistic body of practical and clinical know-how. Incorporating this practical approach to intentional state ascription in psychopathological cases expands and improves traditional interpretivism.
