Description

Explore the emerging field of the philosophy of psychiatry with this comprehensive resource from Oxford University Press. Part of the International Perspectives in Philosophy and Psychiatry series, this book brings together original essays from leading thinkers to define and examine the foundational concepts of the discipline. As a branch of medicine and a healing practice, psychiatry relies on philosophical presuppositions. This companion examines the core assumptions that underlie psychiatric theory and practice. Readers will find deep analysis regarding the category of mental disorder and the various rationales used for its social, clinical, and legal treatment. By looking at how conceptions of rationality, personhood, and autonomy frame the field, this text provides a vital resource for those studying the intersection of philosophy and medical science. It is an essential addition to any collection focused on clinical psychology, psychotherapy, or the philosophical foundations of mental health.
