Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] The Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders (CCMD) represents a well-structured, compatible and comparable nosographic proposal with western psychiatric DSM and ICDs. Mental illness and mental distress are symptomatic configurations that take on meaning within a specific culture. This explains the inclusion in the CCMD of some original or obsolete disorders, which find their justification in the Chinese social context. This context is characterized by a particular conception of the world and of social relations, originating from the ethical-moral doctrine of Confucius. The synthesis of Confucian thought - according to which man can realize himself and his values only in society - presents clear and interesting analogies with Adlerian thought. The fundamental point of intersection is the concept of social sentiment, through which Adler provides a key to understanding the psychopathological dynamics underlying the social roles of individuals. A necessarily holistic dynamic that inextricably links man and his mental balance to society, and explains the relevance and cross-cultural nature of Adler's thought.
