The public, mental health consumers, as well as mental health
practitioners wonder about what kinds of values mental health
professionals hold, and what kinds of values influence psychiatric
diagnosis. Are mental disorders socio-political, practical, or
scientific concepts? Is psychiatric diagnosis value-neutral? What
role does the fundamental philosophical question "How should I
live?" play in mental health care? In his carefully nuanced and
exhaustively referenced monograph, psychiatrist and philosopher of
psychiatry John Z. Sadler describes the manifold kinds of values
and value judgements involved in psychiatric diagnosis and
classification systems like the DSM. Professor Sadler takes the
reader on a fascinating conceptual tour of the inner workings of
psychiatric diagnosis, considering the role of science, culture,
sexuality, politics, gender, technology, human nature, patienthood,
and professions in building his vision of a more humane psychiatric
diagnostic process.
