There is excellent work in there:
- in Vol 13(1), there is a Symposium on “Toward a Philosophical Structure for Psychiatry,” by Kenneth S. Kendler, M.D., with several commentaries and a reply to each by Kendler.
- in Vol 14(1), there is a Symposium entitled "Philosophy and Psychiatry: Reading and Writing from One Side of the Divide—Or the Other," with a target piece by Jennifer Hansen, several responses, and the replies by Hansen.
- in Vol 15(1), there is a Symposium on "Psychiatric Disorders: A Conceptual Taxonomy" by Peter Zachar, Ph.D., and Kenneth S. Kendler, M.D., with several commentaries and a reply to each by Zachar and Kendler.
As an aside, it is worth emphasizing that membership of AAPP gets you a subscription to PPP and helps to support the main international organization devoted to scholarship in philosophy and psychiatry.

Does PPP publish regularly now? While I was a member of AAPP, around 2002-4, it was far from clear that the next issue of the journal was just around the corner. I let my subscription lapse then, though I certainly continue to endorse the larger mission of and need for such a journal. I also immensely enjoyed the odd issue which did find its way to me.
Rob,
Yes, PPP publication is regular now. It is running about a year behind in terms of the date on the journal. The last issue (guest edited by me on the Biopsychosocial Model) was dated Dec 2007 and actually came out around Oct 2008. But issues are coming out every 3 months. The full listing of issues is at
