    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Patricia Churchland's neurophilosophy demonstrates that neural-level and semantic/cognitive-level descriptions are mutually reinforcing, not competing.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The medical model, properly construed as in Kendell and Jablensky's disease criteria, is agnostic about explanatory level and admits functional encoding accounts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Bolton and Hill's own information-theoretic framework maps naturally onto causal-mechanistic models standard in evidence-based medicine.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Engel's biopsychosocial model, which Bolton and Hill largely endorse, is itself an extension of the medical model rather than a repudiation of it.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Neural encoding of social and semantic content is precisely what predictive processing accounts like Clark and Friston's active inference require, vindicating medical-model neuroscience.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    • 1.The medical model does not logically preclude non-reductive or cognitive-level explanations
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Advocates of a strong medical model can be equally attuned to the conception of the brain as a socially situated, cognitive organ

    First, nothing in the strong interpretation of the medical model rules out explanations that cite cognitive processes in brains: Andreasen (1997) argues that schizophrenia and depression are cognitive pathologies and sees psychiatry as both a form of medicine and “the discipline within cognitive neuroscience that integrates information from all these related disciplines in order to develop models that explain the cognitive dysfunctions of psychiatric patients based on knowledge of normal mind/br
