Views on the mind-brain problem do matter: Assumptions and practical implications among psychiatrists and mental health researchers in Brazil
Objective
Despite being rarely discussed, understanding the mind-brain problem (MBP) is essential to mental health. We aimed to explore the assumptions and practical implications of MBP among mental health professionals.
Methods
We recruited psychiatrists and mental health researchers. MBP perspectives were assessed directly and indirectly (via thought experiments and clinical vignettes).
Results
214 participants participated. Most (60.7%) believed the mind is a product of the brain, however endorsed lower persistence of mental characteristics than physical after the body duplication experiment. Neurobiological etiology attribution to the clinical vignette was associated with reduced attribution of patient’s responsibility, the inverse for psychological etiology. Substance dualism correlated with belief in free will and spiritual etiologies without denying neurobiological, psychological, and social etiologies.
Conclusions
MBP assumptions influence perceptions of etiology, responsibility, and free will, highlighting the importance of understanding MBP for advancing psychiatry.
