The long-awaited final installment of the Biocognitive Model Series
Humanizing Psychiatists is the third of a series directed at developing the
Biocognitive Model of Psychiatry as the replacement for the three nineteenth century
models of mental disorder, psychoanalysis, behaviorism and biological psychiatry.
In this volume, the author continues to explore the logical status of theories
used in psychiatry. He shows that Dennett's functionalism and Searle's biological
naturalism cannot be used as the basis for a theory for biological psychiatry.
He argues that phenomenology is a valuable technique but can never form a genuine
theory. in addition, he shows how orthodox psychiatry uses its publishing
industry to suppress criticism of itself, which is a gross breach of scientific ethics.
He then shows how his Biocognitive Model of Mind can be applied to clinical practice
with dramatic results.
Praise for Niall McLaren's Biocognitive Model of Mind
"This book is a tour de force. It demonstrates a tremendous amount of erudition,
intelligence and application in the writer. It advances an interesting and plausible
mechanism for many forms of human distress. It is an important work that
deserves to take its place among the classics in books about psychiatry."
--Robert Rich, PhD, AnxietyAndDepression-Help.com
"Dr. McLaren brilliantly wields the sword of philosophy to refute the modern
theories of psychiatry with an analysis that is sharp and deadly. His own proposed
novel theory could be the dawn of a new revolution in the medicine of
mental illness."
--Andrew R. Kaufman, MD Chief Resident of Emergency Psychiatry Duke University Medical Center

No longer using this website, but I'm leaving up old reviews. Fuck Jeff Bezos. Find me on LibraryThing:
I read a good deal of this book for PY203 Human Growth and Development at Montgomery College, as a prerequisite for Nursing school.
The content of the book is geniunely interesting because it involves all of us. It is how we live and why we are the way we are at various chronological and developmental times. The content contained a ridiculous amount of in-paragraph sources, plenty of relevant anecdotes to ensure you could relate to the text, and well organized information.
The edition of the book that I had, however, was an enormous paperback book. 9 inches wide. 11 inches tall. An inch and a half thick, and perhaps 5 pounds. And not just five pounds of book, but five pounds of squirmy, bendy, annoying book. The book would wriggle its way into a roll at the bottom of my bookbag, making it uncomfortable to walk with. Also, because it was floppy and unsturdy, I had to have 18+ inches of space wherever I wanted to read it. Forget reading it while walking or on the crowded Metro on the way to class. For that matter, it was difficult to read on my desk. Why on earth would you make this a softcover book? It wasn't even cheap, but it sure did feel cheap.
