The Concepts of Psychiatry

Meer over het boek

The book presents a pluralistic perspective on psychiatry, emphasizing the complexity of psychiatric illnesses that cannot be fully explained by a single approach. S. Nassir Ghaemi, M.D., critiques various methods, including biological, psychoanalytic, and biopsychosocial models, while highlighting the philosophical underpinnings of a pluralistic framework. By referencing notable thinkers in the field, Ghaemi advocates for a more comprehensive understanding of mental health that recognizes the multifaceted nature of psychiatric conditions and the experiences of those affected.
