Links to book listings at Amazon.com are always to paperback
editions when available.
Note:
I do not necessary endorse any of the books I list. I certainly
have not read them all, and some I have never even seen. The main
criteria for inclusion in this bibliography are that a book should address
some issues relevant to assessing the status of psychiatry and the mental
health profession, or may be useful in making such an assessment.
Obviously, this list is not exhaustive, but I intend to keep it up to date
and I am always ready to get suggestions for additions.
Deciding in which category a book should fall is in many cases difficult,
since the categories I use are not mutually exclusive, and books can be
hard to classify. So inevitably some of the classifications I have
made may seem arbitrary. I may change the categories in the future,
and I would be interested in suggestions for alternative categorizations.
Please E-mail me with
any corrections, suggestions or reports of out-of-date links for these
philosophy of psychiatry pages.
