“Tomasi has written simply the book we were waiting for, the book that the current fields in medicine and psychology badly need. This outstanding volume offers a complete overview of theoretical information about brain, psyche, culture, bringing an ideal combination of scientific and clinical perspectives to the topic. A book that will change the way you think.

— Erica F.Poli, MD, Psychiatrist-Psychotherapist, EFP Group, Milan

“Tomasi aims to explore the relationships between medicine and philosophy particularly with regards to neurosciences, psychiatry, and psychology, since these areas of medicine particularly address connections between mind and body. Can medical philosophy be subjected to EBM? We shall see! Tomasi suggests that mathematical modeling is of value. He could not be more correct!”

“A seminal piece of work modeling a truly integrative approach to mental health. A must read for all health care providers wanting to implement a mind body approach.”

“Critical Neuroscience and Philosophy is impressive in many ways – from the scope and variety of information analyzed, to the inspiration that scientists, philosophers, and the wider public will find in it. Bringing together and setting apart mind and body, self and world, provokes thought and evokes emotion. I read it without stopping for breath. Razor sharp till the last detail in such a difficult field as neuroscience in its relationship to existential problems.”

— Prof. Dr. Sc. Aneta Karageorgieva, Professor of Philosophy, Sofia University

“A guide for professionals to learn effective treatment and management strategies in inpatient psychiatry. A thorough display of a vast knowledge in philosophy, clinical psychology, psychiatry and psychotherapy.” 

— Dr. Nonna Aydinyan-Allaire, Phoenix Physical Therapy Burlington

“Tomasi analyses the “mind-body problem” with a critical appraisal that combines the rigor of the scientific method with the speculative insight and thoroughness of the philosophy. The combination of the two sources of knowledge makes this book a fundamental tool for those who share the need to bridge the (apparent) gap between science and philosophy.”

“In his book, Dr. Tomasi defines the diverse underpinnings of Medical Philosophy and elaborates on how these underpinnings inform the field’s role in academics and society. A bold and visionary thinker, his analysis of diverse topics—such as patient self-perception, the mind-brain problem, the limitations of evidence-based medicine, the role of complementary and alternative medicine, and the impact of patients’ faith and/or connection to a higher purpose on healing—demonstrates how Medical Philosophy can help to shape our understanding of medicine, psychiatry, psychology, and neuroscience.”
