Document Summary
We then ask what kind of psychological processes are involved in the symptoms and how they can contribute. Now we want to ask what kind of brain structures underlie or are possible for those processes (brain structure and brain chemistry) We then asks what seems to be the general fundamental mechanism, what genetic mechanisms lead to these processes, which in turn lead to the psychological processes, which in turn lead to the symptoms of the disorder. We reduce each causality to its lower level until we can"t anymore. Treatments for both of these would be different. We would hope that the same thing would be true for every single disorder. It is clear that this simplistic view is definitely not the way that it works and that we will never find this. What we find is that when we look at any disorder, we do not have just.
