El desarrollo de los conocimientos relacionados con los procesos morbosos de la mente ha evolucionado de tal forma en los últimos años que muchos de los planteamientos sobre la psicopatología que habian sido directrices para muchas escuelas se han vuelto obsoletos y, por lo tanto, pertenecen mas al terreno de la filosofia y la especulacion que a la ciencia de los trastornos mentales que se estudian en la psicologia y la psiquiatria contemporaneas.Los estudios internacionales, que en un principio se iniciaron en Norteamerica, han llegado a un consenso para definir los trastornos de la mente, de manera que estos ya son validos en China, Argelia, Mexico, Europa y EUA, asi como en el resto del mundo. Con esta psicopatologia moderna se elaboro el DSMIV, manual para la clasificacion de los trastornos mentales en su cuarta edicion, y en 2013 saldra el DSMV. Pero para poder entender y divulgar en castellano esta nueva vision de las alteraciones mentales se necesita un instrumento que permita interpretar cada signo o sintoma como lo habia hecho una buena parte de la psicopatologia clasica, y que ademas los concilie con los hallazgos mas recientes de las neurociencias; ello resultaba inaccesible para el principiante, ya que las grandes obras de la psicopatologia, como la de Jaspers y Bleuler, tienen graves errores de traduccion en la version castellana y el manual de Kraepelin no existe en nuestro idioma. Esto fue lo que motivo al autor a realizar este texto, el cual pretende proporcionar los conocimientos basicos de la psicopatologia moderna.

La enfermedad del alma, la enfermedad mental, la locura, ha viajado siempre de la mano de un saber oscuro acerca de la multiplicidad de afectos, de ideas y de costumbres que nos habitan sin que parezcan nuestros. Este saber nos empuja a decir, hacer y sentir cosas extrañas, a veces ajenas por completo a nuestra particular mezcla de anhelos, opiniones, juicios e identidades. La conciencia de ser uno y distinto, distinto de los otros, pero tambien distinto de mi mismo por dentro y aun asi uno, es parte esencial del trato con las enfermedades del alma en Occidente.Ahora que la epoca de las grandes disyunciones entre biologia y psicologia, farmacologia o psicoterapia, parece por fin lista para darse por cerrada, aparece el empeño por elucidar el modo en que lo extraño que va conmigo, esa vida que tornasola entre lo personal y lo impersonal, lo particular y lo de todos y que se resuelve en individuaciones sin fin es un ambito empirico valido para la psicopatologia y la terapia. Uno y Distinto cuenta la historia de este sentirse propio y ajeno a la vez, desde sus figuras primeras, Daimon y Genius a traves de su progresiva perdida de sustancia y desaparicion de la experiencia. Y busca tambien maneras de volver fecunda esa tension para los problemas del dia a dia.
