A constructionist account of emotional disorders

Behavioral and Brain Sciences (impact factor: 25.06). 06/2012;

ABSTRACT Lindquist et al. present a strong case for a constructionist account of emotion. First, we elaborate on the ramifications that a constructionist account of emotions might have for psychiatric disorders with emotional disturbances as core elements. Second, we reflect on similarities between Lindquist et al.’s model and recent attempts at formulating psychiatric disorders as networks of causally related symptoms.
