<p>“Tekin integrates brilliantly the medical humanities, ethics, and the philosophies of science and mind in presenting her compelling vision of what person-centered mental health treatment will look like. A landmark work.”</p><p><b>Owen Flanagan Jr</b>, <i>distinguished professor emeritus of philosophy, Duke University</i></p><p>“This book is an achievement and a breath of fresh air. Tekin develops a wonderfully readable, deeply informed, and altogether convincing rebuttal of the reductionism that shapes contemporary approaches to the mind. Her project re-humanizes psychiatry by putting the self back where it belongs, at the center of theory and practice.”</p><p><b>Dan Kelly</b>, <i>professor of philosophy, Purdue University</i></p><p>“Tekin’s analysis of the lack of attention to the self and the importance of lived experiences in psychiatry is spot-on. Tekin’s MuSe model points the way forward to a scientifically sound, helpful, and ethical psychiatric practice. Must read for practitioners, bioethicists, and philosophers of science alike!”</p><p><b>Kristien Hens</b>,<i> professor of philosophy, University of Antwerp</i></p><p>“Tekin combines fascinating case studies of mental illness with deep understanding of psychiatry, psychology, and philosophy. She develops a rich model of the self that contributes greatly to the theory and practice of helping people overcome psychiatric problems. It is a landmark in the philosophy of psychiatry.”</p><p><b>Paul Thagard</b>, <i>distinguished professor emeritus of philosophy, University of Waterloo</i></p><p>“Tekin’s new book restores the practical and clinical importance of the ‘self’ to mental health research and practice. In these pages, clinicians, investigators, and psychiatric service users will find new pathways to personal and empirical-scientific understandings, while enriching themselves in the process.”</p><p><b>John Sadler</b>, <i>professor of psychiatry, University of Texas Southwestern</i></p><p>"How patients experience their own condition would seem central to psychiatry, but the self has long been overlooked by a discipline obsessed with establishing its scientific standing. In this beautifully written book, Tekin challenges this neglect and promises to revolutionize psychiatry by foregrounding patients’ selves and their testimonies. With this groundbreaking book, psychiatry can at last reclaim subjectivity."</p><p><b>Edouard Machery</b>,<i> distinguished professor and the director of the Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh</i></p><p>“A wonderful book!<i> Reclaiming the Self in Psychiatry </i>delivers on the promise of the medical humanities not simply to honour the lived experience of psychiatry’s patients, but to show <i>how </i>experience-based expertise can drive much-needed reform of psychiatric diagnostic systems and practices. With philosophical acuity, compassion and pragmatism, Şerife Tekin gives us the tools to recentre the self – rather concepts of disorder – in addressing mental distress."</p><p><b>Angela Woods</b>, <i>professor and director of the Institute for Medical Humanities, Durham University</i></p>
