Reasons and causes: the nature of explanations in Psychology and Psychiatry
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 July 2009
Synopsis
The relationship between psychological and biological processes is examined. Criteria for the distinction between reasons and causes are described. These provide a basis for a separation of those mental states and behaviour that can be explained in a reductionist fashion, and those that are not reducible. The proposed conceptual framework has clinical and research implications.
