Begreppet 'psykisk orsak' inom en biologisk referensram : The concept of a mental cause within a biological frame of reference

• This paper argues that ascriptions of mental and physical causes are compatible to the extent that there is a nomic connection between the relevant types of mental and physical events. This does not however eliminate the need for analyzing the separate contributions of mental and (purely) physical causes. The argument is illustrated with many examples from psychology and psychiatry.
