Fulford, and others (eds), The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Psychiatry (2013; online edn, Oxford Academic, 5 Sept. 2013), https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199579563.013.0032, accessed 28 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
The basic claims of the chapter are, first, that mental disorders are not best understood as types of brain disorder, even though mental disorders are based in the brain. And, second, that the difference between the two sorts of disorders can be illuminated by the sorts of treatment or therapy that may work for the one type (a mental disorder) but not for the other type (a brain disorder). In the discussion some of the diagnostic implications and difficulties associated with these two basic claims are outlined.
