The mind-body problem from a medical perspective.

Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics January 1, 1986 H Warnes, J E Harris

Classical philosophical ideas about the mind-body problem are examined through contemporary theories. Parallelism and panpsychism are suspect for natural scientists, while epiphenomenalism, central-state materialism, and behaviorism are considered radical and unsupported by current research. The two most prevalent theories are interactionism and neural identity, and the authors discuss evidence for and against each.
