        PSYPHIL on LISTSERV-AT-SJUVM.STJOHNS.EDU
        - Psychiatry, Philosophy and Society.

        Psychiatry, Philosophy and Society is a unique
        interdisciplinary forum which has been formed to encourage
        a critical analysis of psychiatric, psychotherapeutic and
        psychological practices, from a number of different
        perspectives. The aim of the forum is to draw attention to
        the ever more extensive and intensive web of 'psy-services'
        that proliferate within societies and to investigate their
        emergence, consequence, function and legitimacy.
        Challenging to practitioners and academics
        alike, this forum is designed to generate puzzlement
        and to encourage careful critical reflection upon the
        experience of patients and the practices of psychiatry
        and related fields of study.
