Resumen

Abordamos el Análisis de la Disfunción Perjudicial para el trastorno mental. Argumentamos que algunas condiciones mentales cumplen sus dos criterios —criterio de la disfunción y criterio del perjuicio— y, no obstante, no deberían contar como trastornos mentales por su valor. Defendemos que el criterio del perjuicio, al tomar el perjuicio como proxy para la carencia de valor, no resulta un criterio normativo adecuado en estos casos. Por tanto, consideraciones éticas adicionales deberían incorporarse como criterio normativo. Para ilustrar nuestra tesis, acudimos a la experiencia y reflexiones de Jean Améry, filósofo y superviviente del Holocausto, quien rehusó ser diagnosticado de KZ-Syndrom.
