BROOME, M. B., Psychiatry as Cognitive Neuroscience. Philosophical perspectives. Oxford University Press, 2009. 400p. Paperback. Series: International Perspectives in Philosophy & Psychiatry. 'The book that has interested me most this year has the rebarbative title Psychiatry as Cognitive Neuroscience: Philosophical Perspectives, edited by Matthew R Broome and Lisa Bortolotti (Oxford University Press). It is a collection of very varied essays on subjects such as the nature of mental illness, whether psychiatry is a science, and why so-called personality disorder can't be treated, all matters of great interest in themselves, but also of relevance to criminal law and sentencing policy. Despite its title, it is a gripping read.' - Mary Warnock, writing in the Observer (2009) (Publisher's information). € 104.62 (New) (Printed on Demand) (approx. delivery time: 4 weeks) ISBN: 9780199238033
