A New Language for Contemporary Psychopathology

A new language for current psychopathology

The speaker proposes a new, functional, and dynamic semiological terminology based on executive functions to describe contemporary clinical presentations.

The aim of the talk is to present new ways of describing contemporary clinical cases, explain the use and adaptation of the proposed new semiological elements, provide a technical foundation for this terminology, and bring these criteria into everyday clinical practice. The framework conceptualizes executive functions as a dynamic, flexible, and continually changing mechanism of coordination between higher-order brain functions and associative, subcortical, and brain connectivity–based structures related to affect and emotion. Within this framework, practical semiological distinctions are drawn between terms such as metacognition, social cognition, empathy, fluency, impatience, theory of mind, assertiveness, rambling, allostasis, and free will. Metacognition is defined as the totality of representations of reality stored in memory as codes or representational forms, acquired, processed, and used for various purposes by a cognitive system that encompasses not only memory but also the subsystems that process, transform, and integrate these representations. Social cognition is defined as the set of mental operations underlying social interactions, including perceiving and interpreting others’ intentions, dispositions, and behaviors and generating responses to them. In addition, impathy, meaning the apprehension of another person’s lived experience, is considered separately from consciousness’s experience of its own lived experience, and examples are provided of how the concepts of fluency and mind wandering are used. In conclusion, the speaker argues that functional, dynamic, and technically robust concepts must be incorporated into psychiatric language to describe contemporary clinical manifestations of psychopathological conditions.
