RESUMO
Psychiatrists views on the mind-brain relationship (MBR) have marked clinical and research implications, but there is a lack of studies on this topic. Objectives:
To evaluate psychiatrists opinions on the MBR, and whether they are amenable to change or not.Methods:
We conducted a survey of psychiatrists views on the MBR just before and after a debate on the MBR at the Brazilian Congress of Psychiatry in 2014.Results:
Initially, from more than 600 participants, 53% endorsed the view that the mind (your I) is a product of brain activity, while 47% disagreed. Moreover, 72% contested the view that the universe is composed only of matter. After the debate, 30% changed from a materialist to a non-materialist view of mind, while 17% changed in the opposite way.Discussion:
Psychiatrists are interested in debates on the MBR, do not hold a monolithic view on the subject and their positions are open to reflection and change, suggesting the need for more in-depth studies and rigorous but open-minded debates on the subject...ABSTRACT
