This is very obvious in Szasz, who claims that there can only be brain disorders, no mental disorders and that so-called mental disorders are really problems in living. The implication of the latter claim is that people who have mental disorders are really people whose behavior and emotions depart from societal expectations. One might therefore be tempted to think that the normativity claim and the claim that mental disorders are really brain disorders stand and fall together. This is indeed what Stier claims. “Because of the normative nature of psychiatry, mental disorders cannot be completely reduced to neuronal or molecular processes.” (Stier, 2013, p.8)But how close is the link between normativity and irreducibility really? I agree with Stier that ascriptions of mental disorders are intrinsically normative, and that what counts as a mental disorder has to be decided at the mental rather than at the brain level is also correct. However, the normativity claim and the claim that physicalism does not imply that all mental disorders are brain disorders can and should be separated for two reasons: First, we do not need the appeal to value judgments to justify the importance of the mental level in description and explanation. Second, we need to invest significant normative judgments in any kind of ascription of disease or disorder, not just in the range of the mental. ... 000151782 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-472$$a472 - Key Technologies and Innovation Processes (POF2-472)$$cPOF2-472$$fPOF II$$x0 000151782 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, juser.fz-juelich.de 000151782 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2563826-9$$a10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00130$$gVol. 5$$p130$$tFrontiers in psychology$$v5$$x1664-1078$$y2014 000151782 8564_ $$yPublishers version according to licensing conditions.$$zPublished final document. 000151782 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/151782/files/FZJ-2014-01664.pdf$$yOpenAccess$$zPublished final document. 000151782 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/151782/files/FZJ-2014-01664.jpg?subformat=icon-144$$xicon-144$$yOpenAccess 000151782 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/151782/files/FZJ-2014-01664.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 000151782 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/151782/files/FZJ-2014-01664.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 000151782 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:151782$$pdnbdelivery$$pVDB$$pdriver$$popen_access$$popenaire 000151782 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)144814$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b0$$kFZJ 000151782 9132_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-579H$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-570$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-500$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lDecoding the Human Brain$$vAddenda$$x0 000151782 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-472$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF2-470$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF2-100$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF2$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bEnergie$$lTechnologie, Innovation und Gesellschaft$$vKey Technologies and Innovation Processes$$x0 000151782 9141_ $$y2014 000151782 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY3$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 3.0 000151782 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000151782 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000151782 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0040$$2StatID$$aPeer review unknown 000151782 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0500$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ 000151782 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)INM-8-20090406$$kINM-8$$lEthik in den Neurowissenschaften$$x0 000151782 980__ $$ajournal 000151782 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000151782 980__ $$aJUWEL 000151782 980__ $$aFullTexts 000151782 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)INM-8-20090406 000151782 980__ $$aVDB 000151782 9801_ $$aFullTexts
