Extract
It is concerned with the isolation of clinical entities on a psychological basis, and with the investigation of the aetiological factors and psychological mechanisms that may be responsible for these conditions. There is much division of opinion among psychopathologists on basic principles. Particularly is this so regarding the relative importance attached to innate factors, infantile experiences, early training and psychical trauma in adult life in the causation of mental disorder.
