DESCRIPTION:Philosophy of Psychiatry Webinar | Winter 2023\n\n'Folk Metaphy
 sical Assumptions and the Generation of Formative Cultural Tropes in Menta
 l Health and Criminal Justice'\n\nJohn Sadler (University of Texas Southwe
 stern)\n	Thursday\, February 9\, 2023\n	12:00-1:30 PM\n\nAbstract: DSM and I
 CD psychiatric diagnosis\, and indeed diagnosis in the history of psychiat
 ry\, has long been confounded by the blending of illness concepts and conc
 epts of immorality and criminality (that is\, concepts of ’vice’).  For ex
 ample\, consider Antisocial Personality Disorder\, Pedophilic Disorder\, I
 ntermittent Explosive Disorder\, among others.  For this lecture I abridge
  key elements of a large monograph (Vice and Psychiatric Diagnosis\, OUP\,
  2023) to address the intellectual and cultural sources of this confound. 
  The lecture moves in several steps.  First\, I define the problem of what
  I call ‘vice-laden’ psychiatric diagnostic categories and provide example
 s of vice-laden categories and their significance.  Second\, I very briefl
 y summarize a framework in Western intellectual history\, what I call the 
 “ Enlightenment split”\, where social deviance associated with insanity/me
 ntal illness was culturally assigned to science and medicine\, and social 
 deviance associated with the old concept of sin and the newer concept of ‘
 crime’ was culturally dominated by the Abrahamic religions (Christianity\,
  Islam\, Judaism) and the emerging Western common and criminal law. Third\
 , I elaborate the concept of ‘folk metaphysical assumptions’\, which are a
 ssumptions about the nature of reality that are naively presupposed into o
 ur everyday affairs.  Fourth\, I compare and contrast the folk metaphysica
 l assumptions of post-Enlightenment medicine/science/psychiatry with the c
 ulturally prevalent folk metaphysical assumptions in Western common and cr
 iminal law\, as well as the aforementioned Abrahamic religions.  Finally\,
  I relate the insights of these comparative folk-metaphysical assumptions 
 to the issues of vice-laden mental disorders identified in the first part 
 of the lecture.  Implications\, which are far-reaching\, are very briefly 
 mentioned in conclusion.\n\nThe webinar is free but registration is requir
