Many of the current debates about validity in psychiatry and
psychology are predicated on the unexpected failure to validate
commonly used diagnostic categories. The recognition of this
failure has resulted in, what Thomas Kuhn calls, a period of
extraordinary science in which validation problems are given
increased weight, alternatives are proposed, methodologies are
debated, and philosophical and historical analyses are seen as more
relevant than usual. In this important new book in the IPPP series,
a group of leading thinkers in psychiatry, psychology, and
philosophy offer alternative perspectives that address both the
scientific and clinical aspects of psychiatric validation,
emphasizing throughout their philosophical and historical
considerations. This is a book that all psychiatrists, as well as
philosophers with an interest in psychiatry, will find thought
provoking and valuable.
