Overview and programme
Join colleagues in London for our annual conference. Programme information will be released in late summer.
Keynote lecture:
In the philosophy of psychiatry I am investigating the relationship between mental disorders and brain disorders. Are all mental disorders brain disorders, and if so, what does that mean? Is the question of whether mental disorders are brain disorders one to be decided by the philosophy of mind or by practical considerations such as for example 'what kind of treatments work best for this kind of illness'?
