{"title":"Memory, Colonialism, and Psychiatry How Collective Memories Underwrite Madness","authors":"E.

Developments in cognitive neuroscience and interdisciplinary memory studies propose that memory is far more creative and tied to one's imaginal capacities than we used to believe, suggesting that remembering is not simply a reproductive process, but a complex reconstructive process. Drawing on the psychiatric works of Frantz Fanon, in Alienation & Freedom; Black Skin, White Masks; and Wretched of the Earth, this article seeks to illustrate the ways in which colonialism continues to be involved in this reconstructive memory process. Colonialism has affected both episodic memories, the kind we have as individuals regarding our own past, and collective memories, the intersubjective shared narratives we possess in our societies. I argue that dominant collective memories ought to be rejected as a means of self-preservation for racialized individuals because these memories do not do justice to the violence of colonialism. Nevertheless, rejection of dominant collective memories comes at a significant personal cost in our societies, as it creates a traumatic loop for racialized individuals. I propose that psychiatry itself plays an instrumental role in the alienation experienced by racialized individuals because psychiatry has not yet appreciated the ways in which colonialism continues to have a hold on memory. Piecing together a theory of remembering in Fanon's texts, this article suggests that this cycle of alienation can be broken, if psychiatrists incorporate Fanon's insights regarding memory into their practice.","PeriodicalId":45397,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy Psychiatry & Psychology","volume":"22 1","pages":"223 - 239"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83197184","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}

I argue that resistance to fully considering such alternative conceptualizations in processes such as the revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders emerges in part from a particular form of epistemic injustice (hermeneutical ignorance) leveled against a particular social group (which I call the \"psychopathologized\"). Further, insofar as the objectivity which psychiatry should aspire to is a kind of \"social objectivity\" which requires incorporation of various normative perspectives, this particular form of epistemic injustice threatens to undermine its scientific objectivity. Although many questions regarding implementation remain, this implies that psychiatry must grapple substantively with radical reconceptualizations of its domain if it is to achieve legitimate scientific objectivity.","PeriodicalId":45397,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy Psychiatry & Psychology","volume":"5 1","pages":"253 - 266"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72739680","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}

Stein","doi":"10.1353/ppp.2022.0037","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/ppp.2022.0037","url":null,"abstract":"Tilmes concludes his interesting and informative piece with the sentence that “analysis of psychiatric vagueness merits further consideration.” I agree with this point, as well as with his earlier assertion that how one understands psychiatric vagueness may implicate the diagnostic model that one adopts, and the research that one pursues. Fortunately, there has been recent attention to vagueness in psychiatry, addressing both degree-vagueness (e.g., how much depression is required for a diagnosis of depression) and combinatorial vagueness (e.g., what sorts of symptoms are needed for this diagnosis) (Geert, Lara and Rico, 2017). Vagueness in psychiatry is related to a range of nosological debates, including about the value of categorical versus dimensional constructs. Notably, the editors of DSM-5 initially aimed to shift to a more dimensional approach, in keeping with the continuous nature of biological domains of function (Regier, Narrow, Kuhl, & Kupfer, 2009). Nevertheless, dimensional constructs can be reformulated as categories by using cut-points, symptoms of categories can be tallied up to form dimensions, and both categorical and dimensional measures are useful (Kessler, 2002). While many psychiatric traits are continuous, diagnostic categories have considerable clinical utility and were largely retained in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-5 (First, 2005). Tilmes divides theories of vagueness into semantic, epistemic, and ontic ones, and defends the claim that if there is a such a thing as psychiatric vagueness then some cases of such vagueness are least in part semantic. That is, that at least some of this indeterminacy is due to our descriptions of the world, rather than due to the state of the world or what we know about it. While it is entirely reasonable to study the language of diagnosis, I would want to emphasize the complex and intertwined relationships between our concepts and the world, and to point out that many other considerations are at stake here other than the use of language by different communities. It is notable, for example, that the International Classification of Disease (ICD)-11 made the decision to use clinical guidelines that avoid the “pseudo-precision” of the DSM-5 (Reed et al., 2019). Thus, for example, whereas for generalized anxiety disorder DSM-5 specifies that symptoms have lasted for 6 months, ICD-11 refers instead, rather more vaguely, to “several months.” It is not, however, the case that this vagueness indicates means that ICD-11 takes an anti-realist position on mental disorders (Tilmes equates semantic","PeriodicalId":45397,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy Psychiatry & Psychology","volume":"1 1","pages":"183 - 185"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89621150","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}

Trauma, in contrast, is caused (at least in part) by an external event that can happen at any point in the individual’s life. Survivors often experience diverse and enduring symptoms that adversely affect their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical functioning (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). These global impairments diminish an individual’s ability to respond appropriately to morally relevant reasons and stimuli. Fortunately, symptoms of trauma respond well to treatment (Bradley, Greene, Russ, Dutra, & Westen, 2005). The external etiology and effectiveness of treatment allows us examine the moral duties of someone with impaired moral faculties due to trauma within a Kantian framework. The symptoms of trauma interfere with their ability to cultivate what Kant calls “natural powers” of spirit, soul, and body (DoV 6:444–6:445). Kant’s discussion of the natural powers implies that we must possess a baseline level of functioning in these areas in order to fulfill our moral duties (DoV 6:444–446). By Kant’s own reasoning it seems that individuals who experience impairments in any of the three powers are morally obligated to cultivate these capacities. Using Johnson’s (2011) discussion of Kant’s duties to self and careful analysis of available treatments for trauma, I argue that individuals who experience symptoms of trauma and suffer from impairments in Kantian natural powers have an imperfect duty to themselves to repair these powers through empirically informed trauma treatment.","PeriodicalId":45397,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy Psychiatry & Psychology","volume":"56 1","pages":"147 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90853228","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}
