Reviews
This is a serious and important book... it is certainly one that researchers, scholars and anyone involved in trying to explain the nature of psychiatric disorders to a skeptical audience ought to read. British Journal of Psychiatry This book asks the right questions, and sends us in the right direction. -- S. Nassir Ghaemi, M.D., M.A., M.P.H. Metapsychology A good collection of papers... Will be of most interest to specialists in the area of philosophy of psychiatry (and to philosophers of mind and psychology) -- Rachel Cooper Metapsychology Kendler and Parnas undertake this exploration in a readable, cogent manner in Philosophical Issues in Psychiatry... The authors go to great lengths to ensure that the book is accessible for those with a limited background in philosophy. -- Geoffrey Neimark, M.D. American Journal of Psychiatry
