Philosophy & Psychiatry: Reflections of Mind - AMPQ - 11 June 2009Université de Montréal
This presentation reviews the relationship between psychiatry and philosophy, including philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and the definition of person, identity and what we consider as essentially human qualities.
In the scientific community, and particularly in psychology and health, there has been an
active and ongoing debate on the relative merits of adopting either quantitative or
qualitative methods, especially when researching into human behaviour (Bowling, 2009;
Oakley, 2000; Smith, 1995a, 1995b; Smith, 1998). In part, this debate formed a component of
the development in the 1970s of our thinking about science. Andrew Pickering has described
this movement as the “sociology of scientific knowledge” (SSK), where our scientific
understanding, developing scientific ‘products’ and ‘know-how’, became identified as
forming components in a wider engagement with society’s environmental and social context
(Pickering, 1992, pp. 1). Since that time, the debate has continued so that today there is an
increasing acceptance of the use of qualitative methods in the social sciences (Denzin &
Lincoln, 2000; Morse, 1994; Punch, 2011; Robson, 2011) and health sciences (Bowling, 2009;
Greenhalgh & Hurwitz, 1998; Murphy & Dingwall, 1998). The utility of qualitative methods
has also been recognised in psychology. As Nollaig Frost (2011) observes, authors such as
Carla Willig and Wendy Stainton Rogers consider qualitative psychology is much more
accepted today and that it has moved from “the margins to the mainstream in psychology in
the UK.” (Willig & Stainton Rogers, 2008, pp. 8). Nevertheless, in psychology, qualitative
methodologies are still considered to be relatively ‘new’ (Banister, Bunn, Burman, et al.,
2011; Hayes, 1998; Richardson, 1996) despite clear evidence to the contrary (see, for example,
the discussion on this point by Rapport et al., 2005). Nicki Hayes observes, scanning the
content of some early journals from the 1920s – 1930s that many of these more historical
papers “discuss personal experiences as freely as statistical data” (Hayes, 1998, 1). This can
be viewed as an early development of the case-study approach, now an accepted
methodological approach in psychological, health care and medical research, where our
knowledge about people is enhanced by our understanding of the individual ‘case’ (May &
Perry, 2011; Radley & Chamberlain, 2001; Ragin, 2011; Smith, 1998).

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
