    Constructivism seems correct about some putative diseases; that is, societies have at times thought that some human activities were pathological because of values rather than scientific evidence. However, it is another task to show that constructivism is correct about our concept of disease. And this would be true even if there were no diseases; it might still be the case that our concept of disorder is naturalist even if nothing falls under it.
