Contemporary philosophy of science analyzes psychology as a science
with special features, because this discipline includes some
specific philosophical problems - descriptive and normative,
structural and dynamic. Some of these are particularly relevant
both theoretically (casual explanation) and practically (the
configuration of the psychological subject and its relations with
psychiatry). Two central aspects in this book are the role of
causality, especially conceived as intervention or manipulation,
and the characterization of the psychological subject. This
requires a clarification of scientific explanations in terms of
causality in psychology, because characterizations of causality are
quite different in epistemological and ontological terms. One of
the most influential views is James Woodward's approach to
causality as intervention, which entails an analysis of its
characteristics, new elements and limits. This means taking into
account the structural and dynamic aspects included in causal
cognition and psychological explanations. Psychology seen as
special science also requires us to consider the scientific status
of psychology and the psychological subject, which leads to limits
of naturalism in psychology.
