IPPP Origins, Aims and Acknowledgements
The book series, International Perspectives in Philosophy and Psychiatry (IPPP) was launched in 2003 and extended to include the Oxford Handbooks in 2013
Origins of the IPPP book series
The IPPP book series was launched in 2003 by the series editors with their edited collection Nature and Narrative: an Introduction to the New Philosophy of Psychiatry.
The series was inspired by the millennial INPP conference organised by Giovanni Stanghellini in Florence under the title Renaissance Psychiatry. The then OUP Senior Commissioning Editor for Psychology, Richard Marley, saw the conference programme on-line and invited Bill Fulford and Giovanni Stanghellini to submit a proposal for a volume and the series.

Origins of the Oxford Handbooks
The current Senior Commissioning Editor, Martin Baum has taken the lead in developing the IPPP series further, adding many new volumes and launching the Oxford Handbooks as a joint venture between the Psychology and Philosophy sections of OUP

IPPP Aims
Original work in philosophy often requires book-length treatment beyond even the generous (may be up to 8000 word) allowance of the journal Philosophy, Psychiatry & Psychology (PPP).
In offering this, the IPPP series aims to complement other books and book series – for example, a path-finding series from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Key challenges for the future include:
- Extending the international range of contributors
- Building on the diversities of both philosophical and practical perspectives represented in the series
- Wider access to e-book editions
- Further development of Open Access availability
We welcome ideas and proposals for contributions to both the IPPP book series and Oxford Handbooks
