DESCRIPTION:In the network approach to psychopathology\, disorders are set
 s of causally connected symptoms. This conceptualization offers novel pers
 pectives on the theoretical status of mental disorders: instead of cleanly
  separable categories that reflect central neural or psychological deficit
 s\, disorders are tightly connected regions in a symptom network. This con
 ceptual framework suggests novel approaches to both the analysis of resear
 ch data and the organization of treatment interventions\, primarily throug
 h the application of network analysis: a set of techniques that offers pow
 erful tools to study the dynamics of interconnected systems\, to analyze t
 he architecture of networks involving large numbers of entities (e.g.\, ne
 urons\, people\, genes\, variables)\, and to visualize connectivity struct
 ures in such networks. In the present talk\, I will give an overview of th
 e most important insights and results that have arisen from the network ap
 proach.
