Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology

Last updated

Mission

The journal is an aspect and element of a broader research activity reflecting the moulding and development of a new specialized system of knowledge, viz., the philosophy of psychiatry [1] which arose in the middle of the nineties [2] as an addition to both analytic philosophy and to the interpretation of mental health care. [3] The new philosophy of psychiatry aims at a better understanding of psychiatry through an analysis of some of its fundamental concepts. [4] Along with the journal Philosophy, Psychiatry, and Psychology, [1] this new discipline has an international network [5] with regular conferences, numerous books, [6] institutions and the masters programme [7] based on the Oxford Textbook of Philosophy and Psychiatry.
