Abstract

The evolutionary reading of psychopathology has been carried out at various levels, although it is not related or integrated. The present refIection affects some of them. relating them to syndromes or mood / affect disorders, anxiety and personality disorders.

In this way we will first consider the possibilities of a continuity / discontinuity of attitudinal and emotional symptoms between the psychopathology of childhood and adulthood, which inevitably raises the question of the determinism of one over the other, or the of its relative independence.

Subsequently, the continuity / discontinuity of cognitive symptoms and, more in particular, of individual meanings is examined, which raises not only the question of the relationship between cognition and affect, but also of the competition between meanings and the dominance of one over another. at certain levels of development.

As an introduction to an evolutionary psychology of meanings, a dialectical model with five levels of meaning is proposed, relating to some affective and anxiety syndromes and mainly to personality disorders.
