Grant Gillett uses material arising in the study of philosophy of mind, epistemology, post-modern continental philosophy, and philosophy of language, to try to elucidate the nature of important psychiatric disorders such as depression, attention deficiency, autism, schizophrenia, and anorexia. Along the way, Gillett explores the nature of memory and identity; of hysteria and what constitutes rational behavior; and of what causes us to label someone a psychopath or deviant. This fascinating book will provide readers with insights into the causes and nature of psychosis, and will have considerable implications for the way in which we understand and treat sufferers of psychiatric disorders.
