Colin Allen is professor in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science and in the Program in Cognitive Science at Indiana University, Bloomington, where he is also a faculty member in the Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior. He publishes regularly on topics in animal cognition and the philosophical foundations of cognitive ethology, and since arriving at Indiana in 2004 he has enjoyed being challenged to think about the historical contexts in which controversies about animal behavior and cognition arise and about how current developments in biology and cognitive science might reframe the debates.

Abstract
This article focuses on the modeling of neuropsychiatric disorders in the case of animal emotions. It examines critically the evidence that philosophers have used to justify the claim that some nonhuman animals experience emotions similar to those of humans, such as pain and suffering. It provides an alternative strategy to making similar claims in a manner that avoids the possible confusion present in the existing pain literature. It also discusses evidence of animal emotions from human pain and suffering and describes the chick anxiety-depression continuum model.
