Philosophical Issues in Psychiatry: Explanation,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kendler, Kenneth S. / Parnas, Josef, PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, This multidisciplinary collection explores three key concepts underpinning psychiatry -- explanation, phenomenology, and nosology -- and their continuing relevance in an age of neuroimaging and genetic analysis. An introduction by Kenneth S. Kendler lays out the philosophical grounding of psychiatric practice. The first section addresses the concept of explanation, from the difficulties in describing complex behavior to the categorization of psychological and biological causality. In the second section, contributors discuss experience, including the complex and vexing issue of how self-agency and free will affect mental health. The third and final section examines the organizational difficulties in psychiatric nosology and the instability of the existing diagnostic system. Each chapter has both an introduction by the editors and a concluding comment by another of the book's contributors. Contributors: John Campbell, Ph.D.; Thomas Fuchs, M.D., Ph.D.; Shaun Gallagher, Ph.D.; Kenneth S. Kendler, M.D.; Sandra D. Mitchell, Ph.D.; Dominic P. Murphy, Ph.D.; Josef Parnas, M.D., Dr.Med.Sci.; Louis A. Sass, Ph.D.; Kenneth F. Schaffner, M.D., Ph.D.; James F. Woodward, Ph.D.; Peter Zachar, Ph.D.

Clinical Study Guide for the Oral Boards in Psychiatry

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Strahl, Nathan R., PUBLISHER: American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc., This one-of-a-kind reference brings together-in a single, concise study guide-pertinent clinical information regarding the assessment and treatment of patients most likely to be encountered during the oral boards in psychiatry. The author dispels the myths behind what this test is designed to evaluate and offers practical guidance on how to succeed when taking this rigorous examination. Contrary to the widespread belief that candidates are judged on their proficiency to accurately diagnose the patient they interview or see interviewed, the author of this study guide asserts that candidates are really being tested on their ability to formulate a differential diagnosis. Within reason, the examiners do not care if candidates' diagnostic opinions agree or disagrees with theirs; instead, they want to assess how candidates reason through their diagnosis and if they recognize, based on a short interview, that many diagnoses are possible. Diagnoses are based on DSM-IV to ensure that psychiatrists with different backgrounds and training "speak the same language"-and nowhere is this consistency more important than with the oral boards. Four factors are key to success: Understanding the nature of the exam process as a measure of your clinical, not theoretical, knowledge of psychiatry. Preparing thoroughly by being intimately familiar with any item or topic the candidate mention, that is, if the candidate mentions a specific medication, he or she must also be ready to discuss its indications, dosage range, and therapeutic and side effects. Showing empathy for the patient, that is, taking the time (even if only for a minute or two) to establish rapport by using reassuring statements thatshow care and compassion. Developing a collegial relationship with the examiners, that is, not being excessively guarded or defensive and not inadvertently taking on an adversarial role. In addition, the author thoughtfully provides algorithms for "middle of the road" treatment protocols that will help especially when the candidates experience with a particular patient group is limited. Preparing with this guide in hand also helps alleviate noticeable candidate anxiety. Providing factual, clinical information without extraneous material, this eminently useful text is a "must read" for all candidates in the United States, as well as candidates from foreign countries. Unlike psychiatry textbooks and manuals for treating patients in clinical practice, this indispensable study guide offers a distinct advantage-especially for the busy professional who may not have time to review the full texts of other references-by providing both the knowledge and the insights so essential to success on this crucial exam.

Inner Life of a Rational Agent: In Defence of Philosophical

Inner Life of a Rational Agent: In Defence of Philosophical Behaviourism: A radical approach to the philosophy of mind, in which states of mind are identified with dispositions to behave in certain ways. The approach taken by Rowland Stout is a thoroughly up-to-date version of behaviourism, although not a form of behaviourism that denies the existence of consciousness, free will, rationality, etc., nor aims to reduce these to other sorts of things. Properly understood, the idea of being disposed to behave in a certain way is seen to be exactly as rich and interesting as the idea of being in a certain state of mind. The fact that our ways of behaving are sensitive to practical rationality is taken to be an essential aspect of our nature as conscious agents. And in describing such a version of practical rationality Stout claims we are describing the mental state of someone whose behaviour is sensitive to it. His account of behaviourism rests on two central notions--that of a causal disposition to behave and that of sensitivity to practical rationality. He explains and develops these notions in some detail, and then uses them to construct powerful and original accounts of belief, intention, knowledge, perception and consciousness.

Death: Philosophical Soundings

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fingarette, Herbert, PUBLISHER: Open Court Publishing Company, No one who reads this book will ever again think of their own death in the same way. Fingarette faces up to the reality of death and demolishes some popular errors in our thinking about death. He examines the metaphors which mislead us: death as parting, death as sleep, immortality as the denial of death, and selflessness as a kind of consolation. He thinks through some of the more illuminating metaphors: death as the end of the world for me, death as the conclusion of a story, life as ceremony, and life as a tourist visit to earth. Fingarette goes on to discuss living a future without end and living a present without bounds. The author offers no facile consolation, but he identifies the true root of fear of death, and explains how the meaning of death can be reconceived. "All of Herbert Fingarette's books are enormously personal voyages that explore with philosophical honesty real life dilemmas: self-deception, cultural alterity, the role of ritual, the achievement of personhood, justifications for alcoholism, and now death. One of Fingarette's most important career accomplishments." -- Roger T. Ames Philosophy East & West

Concluding Unscientific Postscript to the Philosophical

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kierkegaard, Soren / Hannay, Alastair, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Kierkegaard's Concluding Unscientific Postscript is a classic of existential literature. It concludes the first and richest phase of Kierkegaard's pseudonymous authorship and is the text that philosophers look to first when attempting to define Kierkegaard's own philosophy. Familiar Kierkegaardian themes are introduced in the work, including truth as subjectivity, indirect communication, the leap, and the impossibility of forming a philosophical system for human existence. The Postscript sums up the aims of the preceding pseudonymous works and opens the way to the next part of Kierkegaard's increasingly tempestuous life: it can thus be seen as a cornerstone of his philosophical thought. This volume offers the work in a new and accessible translation by Alastair Hannay, together with an introduction that sets the work in its philosophical and historical contexts.
