questions for psychology and psychiatry
Open questions for psychology, and psychiatry. Background: https://mastodon.social/@awaisaftab/111035687938406722 Here a psychologist and psychiatrist discuss “advancing neuroscientific understanding of brain-behaviour relationship”: specifically “the gap in understanding, between the brain 1 and behaviour” I hope to better understand how different specialists within the broader fields of psychology and psychiatry perceive this “gap in understanding” I’m curious to understand: How often this “gap in understanding” is considered, within different specialisms of psychology? The range of expectations across respective specialists, on what “illumination of this space” may reveal To what degree a formalised scientific account of introspection (including and objectively reframed meditation practice) might benefit illumination and interrogation of “the gap” The situation of “psychiatric-claim” on circumstances associated with “mental disorders”; and the degree to which psychology ought to present non-judgemental interpretations of the same circumstances, as appropriate tbh, any insights you feel happy to share, will be gratefully received!...
