The Concepts of Psychiatry: A Pluralistic Approach to the Mind and Mental Illness
By S Nassir Ghaemi
$15.00
Because most psychiatric illnesses are complex phenomena, no single method or approach is sufficient to explain them or the experiences of persons who have them.
Yet in place of past dogmatisms, contemporary psychiatry has moved toward an “anything goes” eclecticism, resulting in much confusion. Grounding his approach in the works of Karl Jaspers, Paul McHugh and Phillip Slavney, Leston Havens, and others, S. Nassir Ghaemi argues that the discipline of psychiatry can be understood best from a pluralistic perspective that goes beyond both dogmatism and eclecticism.
