- Title
Psychiatric disorders and the social brain: Distinguishing mentalizing and empathizing.
- Authors
Troisi, Alfonso
- Abstract
Social cognition is a broad terra, incorporating all aspects of social functioning from perceiving emotional stimuli, to attributional style and theory of mind. Not distinguishing between these different capacities may confound the interpretation of the data deriving from studies of the relationship between psychiatric disorders and the social brain. The distinction between cognitive and affective components of social cognition is clearly exemplified by the abnormalities observed in psychopathy and Williams syndrome.
