The Concept of Mental Disorder and Ethical Conceptual Engineering

In the talk, we discuss what is the best way to approach the question of how to construe the concept of mental disorder within the psychiatric diagnostic manuals such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders (DSM). We argue that the perspective of conceptual engineering should be adopted. More specifically, we maintain that the explicationist methodology can be used to solve this issue. Based on this methodology we argue for a kind of harmful dysfunction conception of mental disorder.
