Table of ContentsReviewsBy interspersing short chapters, equally short endnotes and incisively-curated follow-up readings with a mix of illustrations, the three authors, a psychiatrist, a philosopher, and (for our purposes) a visual artist, have produced a veritable page-turner.... On the whole, this book offers a fair-minded, and measured defense of key tenets of present day medical psychiatry. Extreme positions, including mind-body reductionism, are rejected, and person-centered approaches to care find favor. In their preface the authors note the hoped-for readership of this volume: psychiatrists and other medical practitioners, and also those who encounter psychiatric diagnosis in other ways, such as patients. But we can add a further group. This would be an ideal text to introduce to the philosophy of mental health undergraduate students in philosophy or to graduate students in other disciplines.
