In this companion volume to their widely acclaimed
Perspectives of Psychiatry
, Phillip R. Slavney, M.D., and Paul R. McHugh, M.D., argue that the discontinuity of brain and mind is the source of much of psychiatry’s discord, for it leads psychiatrists to think about their discipline in terms of polar opposites: conscious or unconscious; explanation or understanding; paternalism or autonomy.
Psychiatric Polarities

Psychiatric Polarities,
their examination of these conflicts demonstrates how a methodological approach can help to resolve disagreements rooted in partisan commitments.
