Abstract

Law and Psychiatry is a clear, well-structured, philosophically sophisticated account of the relationship between the disciplines of law and psychiatry. Moore presents and defends two theses. The first thesis is that lawyers and psychiatrists are philosophically naive, which prevents them from establishing the proper relationship between their respective disciplines. The second thesis is that the legal and psychiatric conceptions of the person are not contradictory, despite appearances to the contrary. Rather, they share a common conception of man as being both rational and autonomous.
