Abstract

It looks very much like philosophy is going to save psychiatry or at least to rescue it from the quick sands of biological reductionism, in which it has been muddling for decades. Through a series of historical cases (Roland Kuhn, Viktor Frankl, Hemmo MüllerSuur) this paper aims at showing that this situation is not new and that it would be naïve to take the salvific value of philosophy for granted.
