Document Summary
Belief model: you believe that you have the symptoms: health standard, cause, emotional wound you need to reveal emotionality at the time of the wound. This is mostly about neural structures which are necessary but not sufficient. The brain is necessary in understanding these things, but not sufficient. From a to b there will be stress, once the stressor stops something else will carry one (this is the target; you need this in the target for the model). You may see social dysfunction as a result or could be a cause; it could also be a mediator. Things that represent behavior: estrangement, alienation, numbing, self-focused, sleeping and eating problems are all symptoms of depression, which is classic of co-morbidity or co-illness. This is about specific etiology and proxy for etiology is the dose-response relationship, you expect to see direct-effect and robust risk: mechanism for it not to go away.
