Educated here, I (pictured with my spouse Professor Hill , Professor of Political Science, University of Adelaide) am a Reader in the Philosophy Department at the University of Adelaide. My main research interest is the use of psychological disorder to study the mind. I have written on developmental disorders (autism and Williams syndrome), cognitive neuropsychiatry, and, more recently, on moral psychopathologies (such as psychopathology) and the emotions.

MA/MSc in Philosophy and Ethics of Mental Health
The MA in Philosophy and Ethics of Mental Health programme brings together philosophy and psychiatry. Attracting a mix of academically orientated philosophy graduates and mental-health professionals, it offers an outstanding example of the value there can be in engaging philosophy with practice and policy. It is available in full and part-time mode, both on-campus and also in a well-thought-through and excellently-presented distance learning version.University of Central Lancashire - List of courses - Philosophy and Mental Health
Because of its very nature, mental health care raises as many conceptual questions as empirical ones. The philosophy of mental health is a rapidly developing field developed by philosophers, clinicians (e.g. psychiatrists and mental health nurses) and mental health service users.
