| Sumario: | The term "mind" has been widely used in psychology as part of its technical language and is generally used in the explanation of psychological problems, generating a second level of health called "mental health". This has generated certain discrepancies in the scientific community for two fundamental reasons: 1) Mind concept is not clear when it is referred it, therefore neither what are mental disorders and 2) it alludes to a mind-body dualism that is establishes in the explanations of human behavior and psychological problems, producing confusion about what the object of study of psychology is as a science. In this eassy, the concept of mind is analyzed from a historical-philosophical perspective, later an analysis is made against the medical model of mental disorders to include the concept of psychological well-being. |
