La psicopatología y el comportamiento normal a la luz de la antropología personalista de Karol Wojtyla

In the present text, the most widespread criteria in psychiatry and psychology to distinguish between normal and abnormal behavior, as well as the features that characterize the notion of mental disorder, are investigated through a critical perspective. This task is currently under development, therefore, we explore the possibility that Karol Wojtyla’s personalist anthropology can illuminate this problem and provide some useful element to continue clarifying this eternal problem of behavioral sciences. Starting from the Wojtylian structures of self-determination and self-teleology, it is shown how the notion of integration/ disintegration can be decisive for a full understanding of the limits between normality and psychopatology.
