Causality extends across many areas of psychiatry, from the purely conceptual and philosophical to the interpretation of genetic, epidemiological, and neurobiological work. This book offers new, interdisciplinary perspectives on causation in psychopathology, exploring it in relation to the latest scientific and philosophical advances, as well as through psychiatric research and practice. It features contributions from many internationally known psychologists, clinical researchers, and philosophers of science actively studying the phenomenology of mental illness. The chapters are organized into four sections: The Causes Themselves; Causes, Genes, and Neuroscience; Causality and Nosology; and Causality and Phenomenology. Each main chapter is preceded by a brief introduction written by the editors and a commentary by another author in this volume. By taking a multidisciplinary approach spanning psychiatry, philosophy, and psychology, the book is written to be accessible for members of all three disciplines.
Kenneth S. Kendler has been publishing actively in psychiatric genetics and psychiatric nosology for thirty-five years and is the recipient of many honors and awards. He has written extensively on topics at the interface between psychiatry, and philosophy and history. Josef Parnas has dedicated the past twenty-five years to writing about the philosophy of psychopathology and applying it to psychiatric diagnosis and classification. He is a co-founder of the interdisciplinary theoretical institute, The Center for Subjectivity Research at the University of Copenhagen. Peter Zachar is Professor in the Department of Psychology at Auburn University Montgomery and a Fellow in the Association for Psychological Science. His primary area of scholarship is philosophical issues in psychiatric classification, with notable works including A Metaphysics of Psychopathology (2014, Japanese trans. 2018).
