Philosophy tends to look after the methodology of any organized cognition, and psychiatry is no exception. For example, historically much attention has been paid to the essence of the psychoanalytic method, the analysis of its success and the elaboration of its scientific (non -) viability. Any psychiatric school will rely on some idea of reality, and the task of philosophy is to make the features of this support clear from within the discipline itself, so that in a situation of its own crisis, the discipline can reformulate its own foundations and, ultimately, show the fruitfulness of its approach in relation to as large a “piece” of reality as possible.
On the other hand, psychiatry itself may be the subject of a philosophical question. Foucault, for example, not without success sees psychiatry as a phenomenon of power, and insanity as a social construct. Psychiatry involves a large number of ethical dilemmas, can have an ambiguous impact on a person and society, can become a punitive tool in the hands of the state, etc. – all this can be revealed at the stage of philosophical analysis of the problematic nature of psychiatry and taken into account when building a specific system of psychiatric care.
But the main thing that connects philosophy and psychiatry is a person, the problems of his relationship with the world. Here, the material obtained by psychiatry helps philosophers to consider related issues related to the phenomenon of personality, reality, consciousness, and the like (which is only worth such a prominent philosopher of the 20th century as Karl Jaspers, who came to philosophy from psychiatry). Here, too, philosophy offers psychiatry its own approaches to considering the individual in order to make psychiatric care grounded in the very foundation of human existence (phenomenological psychiatry, existential psychotherapy, logotherapy).
Philosophy and psychiatry are connected in one thing, and this one is the moon. What is the role of the moon? The moon affects the human psyche and it also affects the person during meditation. For Buddhism, the moon is one of the sources of meditative knowledge. I mean the philosophy of the East. With respect.
Philosophy is a system of thinking, thinking. And these are ways of thinking, that is, how thinking is transformed into actions or reactions of a person to events in the external world.
Psychiatry studies disorders, and total violations of the system of thinking/thinking in a person (as a whole), namely:
Serious violations of the perception of the world.
Serious violations of self-perception as a person.
3. Serious violations in determining one's place in the world and the way to act in it.
Me and you are serious problems of a person's relationship with other people.
All these points are considered by philosophy, as if working them out in theory.
And psychiatry is a philosophical stuffing + (roughly speaking) medical practice of dealing with a person's mental problems (which relate to the above points 1-4).
Directly-nothing.�
But philosophers are often interested in psychiatric stories. Clinical cases are material that can be used to “see”, in a certain sense, what such philosophical problems as the boundaries of knowledge, the unity of the individual, the ability to be aware of their mental states, a psychophysical problem, etc. look like. Therefore, examples from psychiatry become illustrations for philosophical discussions and even a prerequisite for the creation of new philosophical concepts.�
For example, based on cases of dissociative identity disorder, one can not only discuss theoretical problems related to the idea of the unity of personality, but also observe how a person experiences a situation of “multiple personality”. In particular, the philosopher Daniel Dennett, studying cases of dissociative disorder, created the concept of personality, which is significant not only for explaining the disorder, but also for understanding the structure of the human psyche in general.
Working with psychiatric cases proved so productive for philosophy (and partly for psychiatry, since philosophers offered their own concepts of mental disorders) that at the end of the last century a separate direction was created related to the philosophical understanding of psychiatric problems. The latest research in this area can be found in the journal Philosophy, Psychiatry & Psychology, as well as on the website of the International Network for Philosophy and Psychiatry (http://inpponline.com/).
Philosophy has nothing to do with psychology. Psychology is a science, and philosophy has nothing to do with science. Philosophy is based on meditative knowledge, while psychology is based on scientific facts. They have nothing in common!!!
Any science is born from one source, philosophy. From her came all the other rivers and streams of knowledge. The methods used by psychology are born of philosophy or the science generated by it. By generating various sciences, philosophy subsequently studies their heritage. This is if in short.
