I get the feeling we're completely talking past each other. I never claimed that psychological disorders cannot have different causes. They may mostly be variants of a living organism's spectrum of maladaptive reactions to various adverse circumstances, yes.
You seem to read what I write, then make assumptions what I might be saying, and then reply to your assumptions, and ignore most of what I write (e.g. about your claims of "heritability"), which makes this a very weird interaction overall.
I agree with your idea of just letting this be, as I don't find it a very productive exchange.
I don't know why you keep coming back to fMRI and genetic markers, because, again, nothing of what I was trying to say has anything to do with whether there are measurable differences on that level or not. You seem to think that "symptoms" are described in the disorder definitions, and anything you measure is the "cause". Again: To me, it is similarly possible that both are symptoms. You can use that for diagnosis if you feel like you need to make this discrimination, but that doesn't say anything about treatment or etiology.
> psychotherapy doesn't have anything to do with "attempting to remove internalized violence against self/other."
I take it you do not consider the EMDR protocol, ACT, CBT, IFS, ego state, Schema, CFT, EFT, SE, DBT, MBSR, DBT, IPT, systemic therapy, gestalt, to be "psychotherapy" then. All of them work with and address internalized violence against self ("inner critic", self-worth, other negative thinking patterns; chronic often suppressed feelings of shame, anger, grief).
