Neuroscience has long had an impact on the field of psychiatry, and
over the last two decades, with the advent of cognitive
neuroscience and functional neuroimaging, that influence has been
most pronounced. However, many question whether psychopathology can
be understood by relying on neuroscience alone, and highlight some
of the perceived limits to the way in which neuroscience informs
psychiatry.
Psychiatry as Cognitive Neuroscience is a philosophical analysis of
the role of neuroscience in the study of psychopathology. The book
examines numerous cognitive neuroscientific methods, such as
neuroimaging and the use of neuropsychological models, in the
context of a variety of psychiatric disorders, including
depression, schizophrenia, dependence syndrome, and personality
disorders.
Psychiatry as Cognitive Neuroscience includes chapters on the
nature of psychiatry as a science; the compatibility of the
accounts of mental illness derived from neuroscience,
information-processing, and folk psychology; the nature of mental
illness; the impact of methods such as fMRI, neuropsychology, and
neurochemistry, on psychiatry; the relationship between
phenomenological accounts of mental illness and those provided by
naturalistic explanations; the status of delusions and the
continuity between delusions and ordinary beliefs; the interplay
between clinical and empirical findings in psychopathology and
issues in moral psychology and ethics.
With contributions from world class experts in philosophy and
cognitive science, this book will be essential reading for those
who have an interest in the importance and the limitations of
cognitive neuroscience as an aid to understanding mental illness.
