Through an examination of those features of psychiatry that distinguish it from other sciences - for example, its contested subject matter, its particular modes of explanation, and its multiple different theoretical frameworks - this book explores some of the many conceptual, metaphysical and epistemological issues that arise in psychiatry.
Exploring the intersection of psychiatry and analytic philosophy of science, this book delves into the conceptual challenges within the field. It examines how philosophical frameworks can illuminate the complexities of psychiatric concepts, diagnoses, and treatments. By addressing key issues such as the nature of mental illness and the criteria for psychiatric classification, the work aims to enhance understanding and foster critical discussions on the scientific foundations of psychiatry.
