Mental disorders have traditionally been conceptualized as discrete diagnostic entities. Yet contemporary neuroscience reveals significant overlap in neural circuitry, cognitive processes, and computational mechanisms across psychiatric conditions.
In Neurocognitive Rigidity and Mental Disorders, Nora Manseur proposes a transdiagnostic theoretical framework grounded in predictive processing, precision allocation, and large-scale brain network dynamics. Rather than viewing psychopathology as categorical fragmentation, this monograph conceptualizes mental disorder as a dysfunction of neurocognitive flexibility.
Integrating research from affective neuroscience, computational psychiatry, reinforcement learning theory, and systems neuroscience, this work examines anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and addiction through a unified inferential architecture.
This scholarly monograph is intended for researchers, clinicians, and advanced students seeking an integrative theoretical model of mental disorder.
