Reconsidering Psychopharmacology: The Logical Approach
Received Date: Feb 05, 2018 / Accepted Date: Feb 12, 2018 / Published Date: Feb 19, 2018
Abstract
The aim herein is to show the need for reconsidering our approach to the use of psychopharmacology as a standard treatment for mental health. Although the most recent scientific research supports abandoning it altogether, this paper presents arguments using pure logic. Using one of the simplest valid propositional forms, Modus Tollens, the argument will flow as follows: if a method is successful, it must meet specific criteria; the method does not meet the required criteria; therefore, the method is unsuccessful.
