The original vision of psychiatry was as a medicine - or physic - of the mind. If psychiatry aspires to be a progressive modern medicine of the mind, it should be fully engaged with the science of the brain. We summarise and rebut three countervailing or 'neurophobic' propositions and aim to show that not one provides a compelling argument for neurophobia. We suggest that there are several ways in which psychiatry could organise itself professionally to better advance and communicate the theoretical and therapeutic potential of a brain-based medicine of the mind.
精神病学最初的愿景是成为一门治疗心智的医学——或者说医术。如果精神病学渴望成为一门不断进步的现代心智医学，就应该全面投身于脑科学。我们总结并反驳了三个与之相悖的或“恐神经症”的观点，旨在表明没有一个观点能为恐神经症提供令人信服的论据。我们认为，精神病学可以通过多种方式进行专业组织，以更好地推进并传达基于大脑的心智医学的理论和治疗潜力。
