Definición

  • The history of psychiatric knowledge has been one of competition between two dominant etiological paradigms: one favoring the social causation of mental illness and the other favoring biological causes. Psychiatry is currently dominated by biological models of etiology that re-emerged in the United States during the 1970s.
