'This book addresses 'the integration problem' in psychiatry by developing an integrated account of brain-body-environment that cuts across experiential, physiological, and socio-cultural dimensions relevant to psychiatric practice and research. Although philosophically based, it is written for psychiatric practitioners and provides an innovative analysis of both enactivist philosophy and its place in psychiatry.' Shaun Gallagher, Lillian and Morrie Moss Professor of Philosophy, University of Memphis

'In this rigorous work, Sanneke de Haan provides a jargon-free overview of the enactive approach, extends it further into value theory and existentialism, and ultimately makes a highly compelling case for its relevance as a much-needed integrative framework for psychiatry. It is essential for anyone interested in non-reductionist approaches to mental disorders.' Giovanna Colombetti, University of Exeter

'The author's precise thinking and compassionate investigation of the human condition perfectly embodies the enactive spirit.' Hanne De Jaegher, University of the Basque Country, Spain

'The book is very well-written and remarkably accessible. Readers without much philosophical background would nonetheless be able to understand and follow the discussion. De Haan systematically takes the readers through each step of her thought process and presents her ideas with great clarity. Even though de Haan is tackling some of the most complex ideas in philosophy and psychiatry, her writing is simple and graceful, and perhaps for that reason, wonderfully aphoristic and immensely quotable.' Awais Aftab, Metapsychology Online Reviews

'Above all, Enactive Psychiatry is a thoroughly humanistic book … [It] offers a deeply compassionate investigation of the philosophical foundations for a scientifically informed holistic psychiatry.' Jelle Bruineberg, Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences
