This book focuses on the ethical and social implications of the use of neurotechnologies in psychiatry to address the issue of the treatment of psychiatric disorders with moral “pathologies” (antisocial, aggressive, and harmful behavior; psychopathic traits). The author provides a critical albeit balanced approach about the scope and limits of emerging neurotechnologies and about questions related to the moral bioenhancement debate. The framework developed (the clinical ideal) offers a potential justification of the use of moral bioenhancement neurotechnologies in the clinical context while maintaining a robust commitment to the goals and values of medical practice.weiterlesen
