Nancy Nyquist Potter has published extensively in philosophy and psychiatry and is an international speaker in this area. Her current focus is on the connections between theories of knowledge and ethics, with special attention to nosological and diagnostic issues. She is co-PI with Mona Gupta, M.D. on a CIHR grant to study types of knowing that psychiatrists draw on in making diagnoses. Her last book-length publication was a critical analysis of borderline personality disorder (Oxford University Press, 2009). Professor Potter serves on hospital ethics committees and works as psychiatric ethics discussant at University of Louisville Psychiatry.

This is a rich and important book, a fascinating read that will spur further thought by both philosophers and psychiatrists...The Virtue of Defiance and Psychiatric Engagement raises questions that should captivate both moral theorists and psychiatrists. Potter has started the conversation for us to continue, whether or not we feel defensive about it.
