This book represents a systematic effort to draw various lines of inquiry together, including the debates about the principles of psychiatric classification, categorical versus dimensional approaches, prodromal phases and sub-threshold disorders, and the problem of over-diagnosis in psychiatry, and relates these debates to philosophical research on vagueness and demarcation problems.

These issues are further discussed from different perspectives (psychiatry, philosophy, history and law). In addition, both the individual and the social consequences in clinical practice are addressed.
