Understanding Mental Disorders aims to help current and future
psychiatrists, and those who work with them, to think critically
about the ethical, conceptual, and methodological questions that
are raised by the theory and practice of psychiatry. It considers
questions that concern the mind's relationship to the brain, the
origins of our norms for thinking and behavior, and the place of
psychiatry in medicine, and in society more generally. With a focus
on the current debates around psychiatry's diagnostic categories,
the authors ask where these categories come from, if psychiatry
should be looking to find new categories that are based more
immediately on observations of the brain, and whether psychiatrists
need to employ any diagnostic categories at all. The book is a
unique guide for readers who want to think carefully about the
mind, mental disorders, and the practice of psychiatric medicine.
