It is not merely a health crisis of resource scarcity or distribution, competing claims and practice models, or level of development from one country to another, but a deeper, more fundamental crisis about the very definition and the theoretical basis of psychiatry. The kinds of questions that represent this crisis include whether psychiatry is a \u003ci\u003esocial science\u003c\/i\u003e (like psychology or anthropology), whether it is better understood as part of \u003ci\u003ethe humanities\u003c\/i\u003e (like philosophy, history, and literature), or if the future of psychiatry is best assured as a \u003ci\u003ebranch of medicine\u003c\/i\u003e (based on \u003ci\u003egenetics\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eneuroscience\u003c\/i\u003e)? In fact, the question often debated since the beginning of modern psychiatry concerns the \u003ci\u003ebiomedical model\u003c\/i\u003e so that part of psychiatry’s perpetual self-questioning is to what extent it is or is not a branch of medicine. This unique and bold volume offers a representative and critical survey of the history of modern psychiatry with deeply informed transdisciplinary readings of the literature and practices of the field by two professors of psychiatry who are active in practice and engaged in research and have dual training in scientific psychiatry and philosophy. In alternating chapters presenting contrasting arguments for the future of psychiatry, the two authors conclude with a dialogue between them to flesh out the theoretical, research, and practical implications of psychiatry’s current crisis, outlining areas of divergence, consensus, and fruitful collaborations to revision psychiatry today. The volume is scrupulously documented but written in accessible language with capsule summaries of key areas of theory, research, and practice for the student and practitioner alike in the social and human sciences and in medicine, psychiatry, and the neurosciences. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-02-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030551391\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-55140-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 174\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47710969593996,"sku":"9783030551391","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030551391.jpg?v=1776792850","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030551391","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
