Deconstructing the notion of 'belief' in psychology: commentary on 'beyond belief'
Abstract:
The article by John Cromby raises pertinent issues concerning the exclusively cognitive approach of 'belief' as well as regarding the very variable and vague definition of this notion. Beliefs in the area of Health do not stem from the mere cognitive sector. They are not purely discursive in nature either. Beliefs are rooted in experienced embodiment and influenced by the unique story of each subject. However, the reader sometimes regrets the lack of development on the nature of the links between three different levels: the cognitive, the affective and the social one. The notion of 'belief' in Psychology remains to be deconstructed.
