  A number of scholars in recent years have argued that existing psychiatry is flawed in terms of its philosophy of psychology, even if one accepts the basic commitments of the medical model rather than a more normative view. On this view, psychiatry has bought into several philosophical mistakes, being unduly reductive or internalist. There are longstanding objections to psychiatry along these lines, including the idea that psychiatric disorders should not be assimilated to general medical conditions (Arpaly 2005, Graham 2009). But there are specific criticisms within a broadly naturalistic approach to philosophical psychopathology that we will review here.
