Having a valid and precise understanding of real causal relationships lends them to manipulation and control, which is something that is useful across the disciplines. This aspiration is particularly strong in the health sciences, which aim to give us understanding of the causes and mechanisms of diseases in order to enable us to make efficient clinical and preventative interventions. Among the most important questions of philosophy of medicine should therefore be these: what is “causation”, what is “causal explanation” and what is “causal efficacy”? Although causal explanation occupies a central place in all the health sciences, psychiatry is special in that it is affected by the mind-body problem and the issue of mental causation, the question of how, or whether, the mental and the physical can interact with each other. This chapter provides tools with which to analyse these issues in psychiatry and discusses some ways of tackling these problems in the light of some recent developments in the philosophy of science. Although these problems are not easy, and they are particularly grave in the context of psychiatry, recent discussion has brought about some significant advances which have the potential to enhance our understanding of the scientific identity of psychiatry.","PeriodicalId":192188,"journal":{"name":"The Bloomsbury Companion to Philosophy of Psychiatry","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129749088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
