Human setting structure
Any human setting is structured in a way that certain ways of thinking are possible, meaningful and likely to occur, while others are impossible, meaningless or unlikely
Discourse
Difficulty to circumscribe the way in which human settings are structured. A dominant discourse will allow for and highlight some ways of thinking, while disallowing or obscuring other ways of thinking. (DSM is dominant discourse)
Goal of discourse reflection
Showing current way of thinking about problems is structured by discourse with historical roots and social/ethical consequences
Put them into question and point towards alternatives
Symptom
Symptoms arise from observations, deviations, problems and theories that arrive from expectations and norms in society.
Kraepelin
Psychiatric disorder based on course, prognosis and etiology. He observed patients based on these three, looking for the mental disorder that caused these symptoms
Other important causes of symptoms
Sociological: cultural distinction, stigma etc
Religious: influence of god
Systemic: interactions within family
Psychoanalytic paradigm (DSM 1 & 2)
Discription of how disorders are expressed. Very low interreliability. Difficulty testing etc. Not reliable

Pragmatic uses of DSM-5
Making treatment possible (Clear and easy message to client)
Hypothesis development (etiology, course, prognosis etc)
