Philosophy Special Interest Group Annual Conference 2025: Autonomy and responsibility in psychiatry and mental health care

Event Information

Join colleagues in London for our annual conference.

This year's conference theme is 'autonomy and responsibility in psychiatry and mental health care'.


Mental disorder, self-disclosure, and responsibility
Dr Anneli Jefferson, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, Cardiff University

In the philosophy of psychiatry we investigate the relationship between mental disorders and brain disorders. Are all mental disorders brain disorders, and if so, what does that mean? Is the question of whether mental disorders are brain disorders one to be decided by the philosophy of mind or by practical considerations such as for example 'what kind of treatments work best for this kind of illness'?

Responsibility, risk, and the disordered mind: intersections of philosophy and forensic psychiatry - Dr Hasanen Al Taiar, Oxford University and Dr Annelli Jefferson, Cardiff University

A journey into neurolaw: can neuroscience provide normative borders between mental health and disorder? - Professor Drozdstoj St. Stoyanov and Dr Kristina Stoyanova, Plovdiv Medical University

Why philosophy? - Dr Sam Wilkinson, University of Exeter

Making psychiatric education intellectually stimulating and emotionally fulfilling: How can the Philosophy SIG help? - Professor Subodh Dave, Dean, 萝莉视频

Autonomy and responsibility in context: rethinking agency in young people with emotionally unstable personality disorder - Professor Jonathan Hill and Dr Anna Bergqvist, Manchester Metropolitan University
