Psychiatry faces three exciting developments as we enter the 21st century
It is these three developments in psychiatry that are reflected in the title of the 10th Annual Conference of the International Network for Philosophy and Psychiatry (INPP) that is being generously co-hosted by the South African Society of Psychiatrists (SASOP) in Sun City this year, namely ‘Hypotheses, neuroscience and real persons’
This combination of themes underlines the ways in which hypotheses generated by the new philosophy of psychiatry are supporting developments both in the neurosciences and in person-centred psychiatric services
Summary
Psychiatry faces three exciting developments as we enter the 21st century. First, and best recognised, are the dramatic advances in the neurosciences, notably in functional brain imaging and behavioural genetics, and the unique new insights that these are giving us into the causes of mental disorder.[1]. This combination of themes underlines the ways in which hypotheses generated by the new philosophy of psychiatry are supporting developments both in the neurosciences and in person-centred psychiatric services.
