Abstract

Che cosa significa costruire conoscenza scientifica rispetto alla salute mentale? Quali impegni vengono assunti? Quali sono le evidenze da raccogliere e come devono essere trattate? In questo contributo verranno presentati alcuni suggerimenti provenienti dalla filosofia della scienza, volti a chiarire le possibili declinazioni della nozione di “malattia mentale” e del concetto di “oggettività scientifica”, e a sottolineare i ruoli che i valori – epistemici e non – possono assumere nell’elaborazione di teorie e modelli. Dalla discussione di possibili intersezioni e interazioni concettuali e metodologiche con la filosofia della scienza, si intende far emergere un quadro delle discipline della salute mentale come sapere al tempo stesso fallibile e affidabile.
