The Philosophical Defence of Psychiatry (Philosophical Issues in Science) Book

Psychiatry is plagued with philosophical questions. What is mental illness? Is it different from a brain disease?

Divided broadly into two halves, the first analyzes the arguments of psychiatry's critics and covers the philosophical ideas of such thinkers as Freud, Laing, Szasz, Sedgwick and Foucault. The second aims to resolve the problems raised in the first half and thereby to establish a philosophical defense of the theory and practice of psychiatry.Read More
