Summary
There are already quite some models available for psychiatry. With so many on offer it is reasonable to ask if we really need yet another. Here I will briefly discuss several common and influential models and highlight their strengths and weaknesses. My aim here is not to provide comprehensive introductions to all of them; my only goal is to evaluate the available models with regard to their suitability to function as a general, integrative framework for psychiatric disorders.
