Abstract


Although the study of mental illness has been associated traditionally with Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology, we can find different authors and theoretical fi*ameworks inside Sociology that have tried to offer a specific contribution fi"om this discipline. The present paper focuses on the sociological contribution to mental illness etiology: the author examines some of the most relevant models that, fi*om a sociological perspective, try to explain the onset of mental illness. The analysis concludes that these efforts have largely been fruitless and that the role of Sociology in the study of mental illness etiology is problematic.
