Psychiatryfrom its historical and philosophical roots to the modern face /[electronic resource] :by Konstantinos N. Fountoulakis. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2022. - xxi, 619 p. :ill. (some col.), digital ;24 cm.

Foreword by Afzal Javed WPA President -- Foreword by Norman Sartorius, former WPA President -- Prologue -- Guide to read this book -- The origins of Psychiatry -- Part A: The historical roots -- Introductory remarks to history -- Antiquity -- Middle ages -- Renaissance -- Early modern period -- The Enlightenment -- Nineteenth century: the romantic first half -- Nineteenth century: the realistic second half -- Twentieth century: the pre-psychopharmacologic era -- Twentieth century: the era of psychopharmacology -- Part B: The Philosophical and scientific roots -- Introductory remarks to the philosophical roots -- The concept and definition of mental illness -- Mental health -- Disability in mental disorders -- The mind-brain problem and the issue of Free Will -- Part C: The identity of modern psychiatry -- Introductory remarks to the identity of modern psychiatry -- The state of the art -- Psychiatry among the other medical specialties -- Psychiatry as a professional activity -- Psychiatry among human, life and social sciences, philosophy and religion -- Psychiatry and society -- Anti-Psychiatry -- Post-Psychiatry -- Conspiracy theories -- The future of Psychiatry.

This book was the end product of life experiences, thoughts and intellectual wanderings of the author, who through his career and for the last twenty years was always serving all the three aspects of a Psychiatrist: He is a clinician, a researcher and an academic teacher. The book includes a comprehensive history of Psychiatry since antiquity and until today, with an emphasis not only on main events but also specifically and with much detail and explanations, on the chain of events that led to a particular development. At the center of this work is the question 'What is mental illness?' and 'Does free will exist?'. These are questions which tantalize Psychiatrists, neuroscientists, psychologists, philosophers, patients and their families and the sensitive and educated lay persons alike. Thus, the book includes a comprehensive review and systematic elaboration on the definition and the concept of mental illness, a detailed discussion on the issue of free will as well as the state of the art of contemporary Psychiatry and the socio-political currents it has provoked. Finally the book includes a description of the academic, social and professional status of Psychiatry and Psychiatrists and a view of future needs and possible developments. A last moment addition was the chapter on conspiracy theories, as a consequence of the experience with the social media and the public response to the COVID-19 outbreak which coincided with the final stage of the preparation of the book. Their study is an excellent opportunity to dig deep into the relation among human psychology, mental health, the society and politics and to swim in intellectually dangerous waters.
