Abstract

Throughout its history, psychia-
try has had its scientific status questioned,
facing various criticisms for the lack of re-
liability and validity in the classification of
mental disorders, such as the DSM, due to
its inability to integrate scientific knowledge
and individual experiences. This analysis,
inspired by Hegel’s philosophy, proposes a
new perspective that values each clinical case
as a unique entity, challenging the reductionist
approach and promoting a deeper and more
respectful understanding of psychopatholo-
gy, enriched with a dialectical integration of
scientific knowledge and the concept of the
concrete universal.
