Product Description
Review
'The book that has interested me most this year has the rebarbative title Psychiatry as Cognitive Neuroscience: Philosophical Perspectives, edited by Matthew R Broome and Lisa Bortolotti (Oxford University Press). It is a collection of very varied essays on subjects such as the nature of mental illness, whether psychiatry is a science, and why so-called personality disorder can't be treated, all matters of great interest in themselves, but also of relevance to criminal law and sentencing policy. Despite its title, it is a gripping read.' - Mary Warnock, writing in the Observer (2009)
'Matthew Broome and Lisa Bortolotti have assembled a stellar cast of contributors to this volume. They bring together philosophy and neuroscience in an attempt to give an account of psychopathology that is more detailed and penetrating than the standard descriptions and definitions. The quality of the writing and analysis is uniformly excellent without becoming inaccessible to a clinical readership. The combination of rigorous conceptual analysis and neuroscience will take psychiatry in new directions in future years.' - The British Journal of Psychiatry
...an outstanding summary of the contemporary issues in the study of the mind, brain and phenomenology... This is an excellent entree for readers interested in the importance of understanding behavior and psychopathology scientifically. It is essential reading for those involved in the understanding of mind and brain.' (Doody's Notes )
Written and edited by a group of internationally recognized researchers on the cognitive neuroscience of psychopathology, this book is an outstanding summary of the contemporary issues in the study of mind, brain, and phenomenology. [...] It is an essential reading for those involved in the understanding of mind and brain. (MJ Schrift, Occupational Medicine 59 )
