It aims to create a platform for an in-depth philosophical discussion on different forms of theoretical<em>&nbsp\;</em>knowledge (e.g.\, statistical\, molecular\, genetic\, psychological\, social) and their interrelatedness\, what happens when these forms of knowledge are applied in psychiatric practice\, and how they are translated to and received by the general public. The conference is part of a broader research project\, titled &lsquo\;Science beyond Scientism&rsquo\;. In general terms\, scientism is the claim that only science can provide us with knowledge about ourselves and the world around us. In the context of psychiatry\, this manifests itself most clearly in the tension between theoretical knowledge acquired in a scientific setting and practical knowledge applied to the concrete cases in the consultation room. The aim of the conference is to investigate this tension\, and explore how scientific knowledge can be integrated with other sources of knowledge\, such as practical understanding\, expertise\, experience\, intuition and wisdom.</p>\n<p><strong>CALL FOR PAPERS/POSTERS</strong></p>\n<p>We welcome submissions on the following three topics:</p>\n<p><strong>1)&nbsp\;</strong><strong>Models of explanation in psychiatry</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>the relation between different levels of explanation (e.g.\, biological\, ecological\, psychological\, social)</li>\n<li>conceptual questions about (different) notions of&nbsp\; explanation\, understanding and causation as they figure in scientific and clinical practice.</li>\n<li>reductionism and non-reductionism</li>\n<li>the integration of different types of knowledge and explanatory models</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>2) Psychiatry as normative practice</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>psychiatry as a scientific discipline versus psychiatry as a normative practice</li>\n<li>the relation between practical (first-person) knowledge and theoretical (third-person) knowledge</li>\n<li>other forms of knowledge in psychiatric practice: expertise\, experience\, intuition\, wisdom etc.</li>\n<li>the role of metaphors and analogies in the practical application of theoretical knowledge</li>\n<li>evidence-based medicine\, values-based practice\, CanMeds and other models of psychiatry</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>3) Psychiatry in the public context</strong><em></em></p>\n<ul>\n<li>the influence of metaphors and analogies on the public image of psychiatry</li>\n<li>the impact of classification manuals like DSM V</li>\n<li>medicalization and stigmatization</li>\n<li>professional ethics</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>SUBMISSION DETAILS</strong></p>\n<p>There are two types of presentation:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>20-minute oral presentations (plus 10 minutes for discussion)</li>\n<li>poster presentations</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Please submit your abstract by&nbsp\;November 1st 2014&nbsp\;via email to:&nbsp\;abrahamkuypercenter@vu.nl</a>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;<br><br>See&nbsp\;www.abrahamkuypercenter.vu.nl/call-for-papers</a>&nbsp\;for submission details.<strong>&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p><strong>CONFERENCE VENUE</strong></p>\n<p>VU University Amsterdam<br>De Boelelaan 1105<br>1081 HV Amsterdam<br>The&nbsp\;Netherlands<br><br><strong>ACCOMODATION</strong></p>\n<p>Information on accommodation and other administrative matters will be made available on the conference website:abrahamkuypercenter.vu.nl/Psychiatry-Scientism</p>\n<p><strong>ORGANIZING COMMITTEE</strong></p>\n<p>Leon de Bruin (Abraham Kuyper Center for Science and Religion / VU University Amsterdam\; Radboud University Nijmegen)<br>Gerrit Glas (Abraham Kuyper Center for Science and Religion / VU University Amsterdam\; Dimence Zwolle)<br>Derek Strijbos (Dimence Zwolle\; Radboud University Nijmegen)<br><br>The organizers gratefully acknowledge the support of Templeton World Charity Foundation</p>
