44) Why Have Animal Models? As was pointed out by Abramson and Seligman (1977), the development of animal models has played an important role in the evolution of the field of psychopathology from case history, observation, and speculation, to a controlled setting in which a particular symptom or constellation of symptoms is produced in order to explicitly test hypotheses about cause and cure. The logic behind modeling is that by examining the model we can learn more about the etiology, cure, and prevention of the naturally occurring psychopathology.
