Kirmayer, Daina Crafa https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2014.00435 Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 20 June 2014 "Psychiatry has invested its hopes in neuroscience as a path to understanding mental disorders and developing more effective treatments and ultimately cures. Recently, the U.S. NIMH has elaborated this vision through a new framework for mental health research, the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC)." "The DSM As a Conceptual Framework in Psychiatric Research> ...the DSM of the American Psychiatric Association is the dominant diagnostic system in North America and has become a de facto standard internationally in part because it includes useful accompanying text but especially because it has played a dominant role in training and research. For over 30 years, the DSM system has shaped not only the practice of psychiatry but also the research enterprise...The Normal and the Pathological > The Research Domain Criteria assumes that dysfunction can be best understood against the backdrop of normal functioning and frames this in terms of a set of questions: “What is the normal distribution for a certain trait or characteristic; what is the brain system that primarily implements this function; and, how can we understand, at various levels of mechanism, what accounts for the development of dysregulation or dysfunction in these systems along normal-to-abnormal dimensions?” (Cuthbert, 2014, p. 31). Understanding psychopathology in terms of variations of normality has many merits. An understanding of normal functioning may prevent pathologizing ordinary variations and point to how usually adaptive processes may become part of vicious circles that result in pathology. Interpreting the results of brain imaging or other neurobiological measures depends on having a clear sense of how these structures and processes usually function. Of course, this begs the question of how one establishes norms. Identifying dysfunction or dysregulation of a functional system requires assumptions about normal functioning that are not independent of context. Although the examples of psychopathology targeted by proponents of RDoC tend to be major neuropsychiatric disorders that have similar symptomatology across cultures and contexts, most psychiatric disorders show substantial individual, cultural, and contextual variation (Gone and Kirmayer, 2010)...."
