- Abstract
- For decades, science has attempted to understand the world by boiling concepts down to their simplest components in a quest for reductionism, but there is now a move to map the world's complexities. Clinical psychology has recently started to embrace this perspective, as well. To do so, researchers have begun to conceptualize symptoms of mental disorders as network systems using computational tools from graph theory and network analysis. In his talk, Alexandre Heeren will introduce the theoretical conjectures and levels of evidence of this "network takeover." He will then present and discuss his recent research agendas on this network approach's extension to the theory-driven core (neuro)cognitive mechanisms of psychopathology as nodes in the network system. Finally, he will also address the theoretical and empirical challenges, future directions, as well as the potential translational value of this radically new approach to psychopathology.
