Description
Summary:Psychopathology is an integral part of the theory and practice of psychiatry. This commentary explores the importance of psychopathology, especially with regard to clinical practice. The concept of lifeworld is introduced as an important component of attributing meaning to a person's experience of mental disorder. It is also argued that the advance of neuroscience does not preclude the importance of psychopathology.
