Defining Mental Disorder 
Jerome Wakefield and His Critics

Soporte
Philosophers discuss Jerome Wakefield’s influential view of mental disorder as "harmful dysfunction, " with detailed responses from Wakefield himself.One of the most pressing theoretical problems of psychiatry is the definition of mental disorder. Jerome Wakefield’s proposal that mental disorder is "harmful dysfunction" has been both influential and widely debated; philosophers have been notably skeptical about it. This volume provides the first book-length collection of responses by philosophers to Wakefield’s harmful dysfunction analysis (HDA), offering a survey of philosophical critiques as well as extensive and detailed replies by Wakefield himself.HDA is offered as a definition of mental disorder, but it is also the outcome of a method-conceptual analysis-and contributors first take up HDA’s methodology, considering such topics as HDA’s influences on the DSM, empirical support for HDA, and clinical practice. They go on to discuss HDA’s ultimate goal, the demarcation between normal and abnormal; the dysfunction component of the analysis, addressing issues that include developmental plasticity, autism and neurodiversity, and the science of salience; and the harmful component, examining harmless dysfunction, normal variation, medicalization, and other questions. Wakefield offers substantive responses to each chapter.Contributors Rachel Cooper, Andreas De Block, Steeves Demazeux, Leen De Vreese, Luc Faucher, Denis Forest, Justin Garson, Philip Gerrans, Harold Kincaid, Mael Lemoine, Dominic Murphy, Jonathan Sholl, Tim Thornton, Jerome Wakefield, Peter Zachar
