The long-awaited final installment of the Biocognitive Model
Series
"Humanizing Psychiatists" is the third of a series directed at
developing the Biocognitive Model of Psychiatry as the replacement
for the three nineteenth century models of mental disorder,
psychoanalysis, behaviorism and biological psychiatry. In this
volume, the author continues to explore the logical status of
theories used in psychiatry. He shows that Dennett's functionalism
and Searle's biological naturalism cannot be used as the basis for
a theory for biological psychiatry. He argues that phenomenology is
a valuable technique but can never form a genuine theory. in
addition, he shows how orthodox psychiatry uses its publishing
industry to suppress criticism of itself, which is a gross breach
of scientific ethics. He then shows how his Biocognitive Model of
Mind can be applied to clinical practice with dramatic results.
Praise for Niall McLaren's Biocognitive Model of Mind
"This book is a tour de force. It demonstrates a tremendous amount
of erudition, intelligence and application in the writer. It
advances an interesting and plausible mechanism for many forms of
human distress. It is an important work that deserves to take its
place among the classics in books about psychiatry."
--Robert Rich, PhD, AnxietyAndDepression-Help.com
"Dr. McLaren brilliantly wields the sword of philosophy to refute
the modern theories of psychiatry with an analysis that is sharp
and deadly. His own proposed novel theory could be the dawn of a
new revolution in the medicine of mental illness."
--Andrew R. Kaufman, MD Chief Resident of Emergency Psychiatry
Duke University Medical Center
