Recent developments in philosophy of mind and psychopathology.
OBJECTIVE
This review covers recent books and articles on the perennial problem of how mind and brain work together to produce psychiatric symptoms.


RESULTS
Discussed in this article are research on predictors of anxiety disorders, evidence relating to agency and sense of self-ownership, the extended mind hypothesis, and brain differences in genders of moral sensitivity.


CONCLUSIONS
Advances in brain sciences continue, but psychiatry would do well to work with philosophers in the field of philosophy of mind.
