Philosophy and Psychiatry

<p>This groundbreaking volume of original essays presents fresh avenues of inquiry at the intersection of philosophy and psychiatry. Contributors draw from a variety of fields including evolutionary psychiatry phenomenology biopsychosocial models psychoanalysis neuroscience neuroethics behavioral economics and virtue theory. <i>Philosophy and Psychiatry's</i> unique structure consists of two parts: in the first philosophers write five lead essays with replies from psychiatrists. In the second part this arrangement is reversed. The result is an interdisciplinary exchange that allows for direct discourse and a volume at the forefront of defining an emerging discipline. <i>Philosophy and Psychiatry</i> will be of interest to professionals in philosophy and psychiatry as well as mental health researchers and clinicians.</p>
