The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Psychiatry

by Tim Thornton, K.W.M. Fulford, Richard Gipps

Book Overview

Philosophy has much to offer psychiatry, not least regarding ethical issues, but also issues regarding the mind, identity, values, and volition. This has become only more important as we have witnessed the growth and power of the pharmaceutical industry, accompanied by developments in the neurosciences. However, too few practicing psychiatrists are familiar with the literature in this area.
