About this book
Reviews
“This is an examination of the concept of mental illness through the lens of Heideggerian philosophy, with good attention to several philosophers who have raised objections to those views. … This is written at the level of the professional philosopher. … The book does very well at taking a broad look at the works of Heidegger. This is an excellent examination of the philosophy of psychiatry as found in the works of Martin Heidegger.” (Eric Gausche, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2015)
