Beskrivning
This book explores the central questions and themes lying at the heart of a vibrant area of philosophical inquiry. Aligning core issues in psychiatry with traditional philosophical areas, it presents a focused overview of the historical and contemporary problems dominating the philosophy of psychiatry. Beginning with an introduction to philosophy of psychiatry, the book addresses what psychiatry is and distinguishes it from other areas of medical practice, other health care professions and psychology. With each section of the companion corresponding to a philosophical subject, contributors systematically cover relevant topics in philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, ethics, social and political philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, phenomenology, and philosophy of medicine. Looking ahead to new research directions, chapters address recent issues including the metaphysics of mental disorders, gender and race in psychiatry and psychiatric ethics.Featuring discussion questions, suggestions for further reading and an annotated bibliography, The Bloomsbury Companion to Philosophy of Psychiatry is an accessible survey of the debates and developments in the field suitable for undergraduates in philosophy and professional philosophers new to philosophy of psychiatry.

Recensioner i media

Compiling a volume of this importance and scope is an ambitious undertaking; completing one of this quality is a prodigious achievement. The field is indebted to Professors Tekin and Bluhm and to the other 27 scholars who contributed chapters to this volume. Their work surely augmented my understanding of myriad aspects of an ever-broadening subdiscipline in which none of us can keep abreast of all developments. I look forward to using this resource in my teaching and I am confident that I will have ample company in that decision.
