Being uncontroversial might I add a book to that list, which I have recently
read.
Psychiatry as Cognitive Neuroscience: Philosophical Perspectives
Matthew Broome, Lisa Bortolotti
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0199238030?ie=UTF8&tag=facebookshelf-20
" Neuroscience has long had an impact on the field of psychiatry, and over
the last two decades, with the advent of cognitive neuroscience and
functional neuroimaging, that influence has been most pronounced. However,
many question whether psychopathology can be understood by relying on
neuroscience alone, and highlight some of the perceived limits to the way in
which neuroscience informs psychiatry.
Psychiatry as Cognitive Neuroscience is a philosophical analysis of the role
of neuroscience in the study of psychopathology. The book examines numerous
cognitive neuroscientific methods, such as neuroimaging and the use of
neuropsychological models, in the context of a variety of psychiatric
disorders, including depression, schizophrenia, dependence syndrome, and
personality disorders.
Psychiatry as Cognitive Neuroscience includes chapters on the nature of
psychiatry as a science; the compatibility of the accounts of mental illness
derived from neuroscience, information-processing, and folk psychology; the
nature of mental illness; the impact of methods such as fMRI,
neuropsychology, and neurochemistry, on psychiatry; the relationship between
phenomenological accounts of mental illness and those provided by
naturalistic explanations; the status of delusions and the continuity
between delusions and ordinary beliefs; the interplay between clinical and
empirical findings in psychopathology and issues in moral psychology and
ethics.
With contributions from world class experts in philosophy and cognitive
science, this book will be essential reading for those who have an interest
in the importance and the limitations of cognitive neuroscience as an aid to
understanding mental illness. "
