Tsou examines and defends positions on central issues in philosophy of psychiatry. The positions defended assume a naturalistic and realist perspective and are framed against skeptical perspectives on biological psychiatry. Issues addressed include the reality of mental disorders; mechanistic and disease explanations of abnormal behavior; definitions of mental disorder; natural and artificial kinds in psychiatry; biological essentialism and the projectability of psychiatric categories; looping effects and the stability of mental disorders; psychiatric classification; and the validity of the DSM's diagnostic categories. The main argument defended by Tsou is that genuine mental disorders are biological kinds with harmful effects. This argument opposes the dogma that mental disorders are necessarily diseases (or pathological conditions) that result from biological dysfunction. Tsou contends that the broader ideal of biological kinds offers a more promising and empirically ascertainable naturalistic standard for assessing the reality of mental disorders and the validity of psychiatric categories."--Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Psychiatry $x Philosophy. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85108390 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781108607766 830 0 $a Cambridge elements. $p Elements in the philosophy of science. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2019182714 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211202014334.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B16AFC36533D11EC9185B7CB4CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
