Abstract

The article examines ways of interpreting psychiatric concepts in the philosophy of psychiatry. Two main approaches - a conceptual analysis and an interpretative model - are distinguished. The author compares these strategies and examines different ways of philosophical reflection on a psychiatric practice. Furthermore, the author highlights problematic aspects of both approaches. While a conceptual analysis deals rather with use of concepts, than with concepts themselves, an interpretative model could not provide a means of applying research findings.
