I recently had a book published with Bloomsbury - 'On Madness' - which is a philosophical investigation of the intelligibility of psychotic thought. A work in progress is 'Love's Possibility: On Dignity and Loneliness in Human Life' - which concerns the significance of conceiving oneself as lovable for the palliation of loneliness. This reflects a more general interest: recovering, and deploying in psychotherapy and elsewhere, such resources of wisdom as are already contained in our virtue concepts. |
I supervise graduate students in philosophy of psychology/psychiatry; offer tutorials in Wittgenstein; and am lecturer in psychology for Blackfriars Studium.
