Levels of Analysis in Psychopathology draws research from
psychiatry, philosophy, and psychology to explore the variety of
explanatory approaches for understanding the nature of psychiatric
disorders both in practice and research. The fields of psychiatry
and clinical psychology incorporates many useful explanatory
approaches and this book integrates this range of perspectives and
makes suggestions about how to advance etiologic theories,
classification, and treatment. The editors have brought together
leading thinkers who have been widely published and are
well-respected in their area of expertise, including several
developers of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders and authors of the US National Institute of Mental
Health's Research Domain Criteria Project (RDoC). Each main chapter
has a commentary provided by one of the other authors and an
introduction written by one of the editors to create an accessible,
interdisciplinary dialog.
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.
