Naturalism, interpretation, and mental disorder: International Perspectives in Philosophy & Psychiatry

Autor Somogy Varga
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 aug 2015
The Philosophy of Psychiatry is a unique area of research because the nature of the subject matter leads to quite distinct methodological issues.Naturalism, Interpretation, and Mental Disorder is an original new work focusing on the challenges we face when trying to interpret and understand mental illness. The book integrates a hermeneutical perspective, and shows how such an approach can reveal important facts about historical sources in psychiatry and the nature of dialogue in the therapeutic encounter. In addition, the book demonstrates how such an approach can be valuable for understanding the concept of mental disorder itself.Naturalism, Interpretation, and Mental Disorder brings fresh thinking to the philosophy of psychiatry, and will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of Mental Health and Philosophy.
