Jerome Wakefield's proposal that mental disorder is \"harmful dysfunction\" has been both influential and widely debated; philosophers have been notably skeptical about it. This volume provides the first book-length collection of responses by philosophers to Wakefield's harmful dysfunction analysis (HDA), offering a survey of philosophical critiques as well as extensive and detailed replies by Wakefield himself.Introduction ix \u003cbr\u003eDenis Forest and Luc Faucher \u003cbr\u003eWakefield Critiques: Introductory Comments xxix \u003cbr\u003eJerome Wakefield \u003cbr\u003eI On Conceptual Analysis \u003cbr\u003e1 DSM in the Light of HDA (and Conversely) 3 \u003cbr\u003eSteeves Demazeux \u003cbr\u003e2 From Ribot and Dupré to Spitzer and RDoC: Does the Harmful Dysfunction Analysis Possess Historical Explanatory Power?

The chapters contributed by critics provide a comprehensive taxonomy of a variety of philosophical issues raised by Wakefield’s work, while Wakefield himself performs admirably in defending and strengthening his influential view. I recommend it wholeheartedly to students and researchers in philosophy of medicine who draw on Wakefield’s analysis in their work, and to philosophically interested clinicians and empirical researchers who wish to gain a deeper understanding of underlying philosophical issues.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003ePhilosophy of Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eLuc Faucher is Professor in the Philosophy Department at the University of Québec in Montréal.
