Every Time Dualism is Mentioned in Clinical Debate, a Philosopher is Thrown Out of Heaven tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… New piece from me, arguing for the role of psychological mechanisms in FND, commenting on Scamvougeras and Castle
I propose: ...It is a narrative that often highlights levels of understanding despite the challenges of serious mental disturbances and should be incorporated into clinical training.
... but the relationship between (compliance and insight) is not straightforward and not be considered circular. 6. A more nuanced description of insight emerges when we look at what psychiatrists and others mean when they talk about insight....
4. A simple definition of ‘lack of insight’ (like delusion) is difficult if not impossible to achieve due to the requirement to contextualise such mental phenomena in question within a social and cultural milieu. 5. Compliance with treatment may follow from insight into illness..
Insight cont/ 2. While mere ‘agreeing with the doctor’ is an inadequate definition it is not unreasonable starting point 3. Part of the construct is a (meta)cognitive style which when lacking, tends towards excessive certainty and rigidity.
Coming out "What we talk about when we talk about insight" J Humanistic Psychol. doi.org/10.1177/002216… I propose: 1. It does not fit with a narrow version of the ‘medical model’, so let us use a medical model which is deeper and has real explanatory power./
