Reviews

Every chapter in Agency in Mental Disorder is philosophically innovative and nuanced in several directions, as well as deeply empirically informed; the volume as a whole is excellent. I predict that it will become a touchstone philosophical text in discussions about agency and responsibility. * Lauren Olin, Ethics *
