Abstract

Background: As a result of a common misunderstanding of the concepts of generalization, discrimination and prejudice, their methodological significance for a scientific psychiatry gets out of sight.

Aim: An attempt to rehabilitate these concepts METHOD: An explorative consideration based on actual trends in society and mental health care RESULTS: Examples are given of the one-sided framing of these concepts in society and psychiatric practice as well as of their positive contribution to a better understanding of psychiatric problems, to better diagnostics and, as a result, psychiatry as a scientific discipline.

Conclusion: It remains necessary to take a critical look at one’s own bias in the form of generalization, discrimination and prejudices. On the other hand, we also know the heuristic and methodological value of these concepts for psychiatry as a science. We should not only discriminate patients as unique individuals, but also generalize them to a variety of complex groups using biases that are subject to adjustment.

[从方法论角度看以偏概全、歧视和偏见]。
背景:由于对泛化、歧视和偏见概念的普遍误解,它们对科学精神病学的方法论意义被忽视了。目的:尝试恢复这些概念方法:基于社会和精神卫生保健的实际趋势的探索性考虑结果:给出了这些概念在社会和精神病学实践中的片面框架的例子,以及它们对更好地理解精神病学问题,更好地诊断和最终将精神病学作为一门科学学科的积极贡献。结论:我们仍然有必要以批判的眼光看待自己的偏见,即泛化、歧视和偏见。另一方面,我们也知道这些概念对于作为一门科学的精神病学的启发式和方法论价值。我们不仅应该将患者作为独特的个体加以区分,还应该使用可调整的偏见将其推广到各种复杂的群体。
