Abstract
Modern psychiatry is a house divided. On the one hand, the dominant concept of biological reductionism means that the great bulk of research funding and effort is directed at finding a physical cause for mental disorders. On the other hand, many practitioners are unhappy with the apparent inhumanity of looking at the mentally disturbed as "biological specimens." They prefer an approach that allows them to integrate psychological, social, cultural, and other historical elements in their management. Unfortunately, until recently, there has been no such model available. The biocognitive model for psychiatry argues that reductionism is wrong, and offers a highly developed mentalist model in its place. The goal is to allow the integration of psychosociocultural information in a formal, scientific model of the mind. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
