I looked that up in wiki and though I am not mentally ill I am a wee bit brainfuzzled. How can he believe in free will and choices if he doesn't believe in a mind? And how did he come up with that theory if he doesn't have a mind?
Why could he not believe in mind that was not body (even if it was the product of body and the interactions of that body) and so not susceptible to being ill by his definition? So the same symptoms could be the result of decisions or values or choice or chance-there's just no way to tell.
American Heritage Stedman's Medical Dictionary - C
mind (mnd)
n.The human consciousness that originates in the brain and is manifested especially in thought, perception, emotion, will, memory, and imagination.
The collective conscious and unconscious processes in a sentient organism that direct and influence mental and physical behavior.
