Abstract
LOPEZ-SILVA, Pablo. The Etiological Problem of Psychotic Delusions in Current Neuropsychiatry. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.2, pp.1-. Epub Nov 16, 2023. ISSN 1692-7273. https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/revsalud/a.10378.
Introduction
: Delusions constitute one of the most complex and severe symptoms of psychosis. One of the most fundamental problems within current research in neuropsychiatry has to do with the challenge of producing explanatory theories of the aetiology of the phenomenon. I call this the etiological problem of psychotic delusions. Development: The main alternatives to the etiological problem in schizophrenia in current neuropsychiatry are critically assessed. Conclusion: The three current co-existing approaches possess a number of problems to make real progress in the etiological debate. For this reason, I suggest that, in light of the current state of the art, theoretical hybridization could become the best methodological candidate to make progress within the target debate.
