Paolo Ossola, Alexandra C Pike

Research output: Contribution to journalEditorial

Abstract

Computational Psychopathology is an emerging discipline, which is based around the theoretical and mechanistic focus of explanatory psychopathology and computational psychiatry, and reflects the general move in psychiatric research away from whole disorders to component symptoms or transdiagnostic processes. In this Editorial, we present a brief summary of these disciplines and how they combine together to form a 'Computational Psychopathology', and present a brief possible taxonomy. We highlight the papers that form part of this Special Issue, along with their place in our putative taxonomy. We conclude this Editorial by highlighting the benefits of a Computational Psychopathology for research into mental health.
