Traditionally, philosophy has been regarded as operating at a level above practical application. However, the discipline can offer mental health policy and practice some valuable aid. First, its logical rigour can help to clarify concepts and expose inconsistency and prejudice; second, its wealth of theory about morality can enrich the concepts that guide mental health practice. By avoiding simplistic solutions (such as reliance on the 'four principles' of biomedical ethics) those who turn to the discipline of philosophy may learn how to be more critical of accepted policies and practices.
传统上，哲学被认为是在实际应用层面之上发挥作用。然而，这门学科可以为心理健康政策和实践提供一些有价值的帮助。首先，其逻辑严谨性有助于澄清概念，揭示不一致性和偏见；其次，其丰富的道德理论可以丰富指导心理健康实践的概念。通过避免简单化的解决方案（例如依赖生物医学伦理的“四项原则”），求助于哲学学科的人可能会学会如何对公认的政策和实践进行更批判性的思考。
