"After the narrow confines of most psychiatric writing, it is refreshing to read an author who can quote knowingly from both Seymour Kety and William James and who can competently discuss topics as diverse as the mind-body problem and the relevance for psychiatry of Epicurus and Sufism. The book is a reminder of the rich banquet of conceptual and philosophical issues that are of relevance to our field but rarely make it into the standard literature." -- Kenneth S. Kendler, M.D., Psychological Medicine, "A sensational success when it comes to waking us up from our conceptually impoverished stupors. William James' definition of philosophy is cited early in the book as an unusually stubborn effort to think clearly (p. xix). S. Nassir Ghaemi has given us a book that is not only painfully unusual by today's standards, but so stubbornly and clearly thought out as well.

Read here and see the future -- not darkly and indistinctly hoping for inspiration, but face to face with the methods and practices that will bring it to pass.' -- from the foreword by Paul R.

Synopsis
Because most psychiatric illnesses are complex phenomena, no single method or approach is sufficient to explain them or the experiences of persons who suffer from them. In The Concepts of Psychiatry S. Nassir Ghaemi, M.D. argues that the discipline of psychiatry can therefore be understood best from a pluralistic perspective. Grounding his approach in the works of Paul McHugh, Phillip Slavney, Leston Havens, and others, Ghaemi incorporates a more explicitly philosophical discussion of the strengths of a pluralistic model and the weaknesses of other approaches, such as biological or psychoanalytic theories, the biopsychosocial model, or eclecticism. Ghaemi's methodology is twofold: on the one hand, he applies philosophical ideas, such as utilitarian versus duty-based ethical models, to psychiatric practice. On the other hand, he subjects clinical psychiatric phenomena, such as psychosis or the Kraepelin nosology, to a conceptual analysis that is philosophically informed. This book will be of interest to professionals and students in psychiatry, as well as psychologists, social workers, philosophers, and general readers who are interested in understanding the field of psychiatry and its practices at a conceptual level., Because most psychiatric illnesses are complex phenomena, no single method or approach is sufficient to explain them or the experiences of persons who suffer from them.

Yet in place of past dogmatisms, contemporary psychiatry has moved toward an "anything goes" eclecticism, resulting in much confusion. In The Concepts of Psychiatry, Dr. S. Nassir Ghaemi argues that the discipline of psychiatry can be understood best from a pluralistic perspective that goes beyond both dogmatism and eclecticism. Grounding his approach in the works of Karl Jaspers, Paul McHugh, Phillip Slavney, Leston Havens, and others, Ghaemi presents a philosophical discussion of the strengths of a pluralistic model and the weaknesses of other approaches, such as biological or psychoanalytic theories and biopsychiosocial eclecticism. He also re-examines the nature of scientific method as applied to psychiatry and seeks to shed conceptual light on our current approach to psychiatric diagnosis. The paperback edition includes a new preface by the author., Because most psychiatric illnesses are complex phenomena, no single method or approach is sufficient to explain them or the experiences of persons who suffer from them.
