A Critique of Psychopathology

Beschreibung

A Critique of Psychopathology is an attempt to draw together the various levels of analysis of psychopathology - descriptive, diagnostic, psychological, neuropsychological, and philosophical - and to give an up-to-date perspective on the subject within each of these levels. The book is pervaded, however, with a sense that only a philosophical 'take' on psychopathology can do justice to the subject.
