Reduction in psychiatry
Abstract
Objective: To examine the doctrine of reductionism in psychiatry.
Method: A selective review of the literature.
Results: Two arguments offered in support of reduction in psychiatry are presented and found to be unsatisfactory. An argument supporting skepticism about reduction is described.
Conclusion: Currently, there is little reason to think that any significant portion of psychiatric theory will be reduced to neuroscience or genetics.
