Mentalni poremećaj: Pristup inženjerstva pojmova

Abstract
This paper explores the possibility of defining the concept of mental disorder through conceptual engineering. This method proposes shaping a concept according to the goals it should serve. I argue that mental disorders should be understood as unitary mental conditions involving harm. Such harm should be assessed against justifiable standards and arise from factors beyond an individual’s ordinary control. The paper examines this proposal through five components of the proposed concept of mental disorder: unity, harm, normative standards, factors beyond control, and mental nature. The aim is to provide a framework that could support clearer diagnosis, ethical justification of treatment, and improved theoretical understanding.

Sažetak
Ovaj rad istražuje mogućnost definiranja pojma mentalnog poremećaja primjenom pojmovnog inženjerstva. Ta metoda predlaže oblikovanje pojma u skladu s ciljevima koje bi trebao ispunjavati. Zastupam tezu da se mentalni poremećaji trebaju shvaćati kao jedinstvena mentalna stanja koja uključuju štetu. Štetu treba procjenjivati prema opravdanim standardima i mora proizlaziti iz čimbenika izvan kontrole pojedinca. Rad razmatra ovu definiciju prema pet kriterija: jedinstvu, šteti, normativnim standardima, čimbenicima izvan kontrole i mentalnoj naravi. Cilj je predložiti okvir koji može pridonijeti jasnijoj dijagnozi, etičkom opravdanju liječenja i boljem teorijskom razumijevanju.
