Psychiatric understanding and treatment benefit from integrating both objective facts and subjective values, moving beyond strict scientism toward a softer naturalism. A pluralist approach—embracing ontological, explanatory, and value pluralism—acknowledges the multi-level causal interactions underlying psychopathology and highlights the importance of lived experience and diverse difference-makers in research and practice. Embodied, embedded, and enactive views of the brain-mind offer a conceptual framework for the mind-body problem that clinically integrates cognitive-affective neuroscience with phenomenological psychopathology.
