Mental Pain and Psychological Correlates in Individuals With Gender Dysphoria
Background: Previous studies have observed high mental distress in individuals with gender dysphoria (GD). A deeper investigation on constructs underlying mental distress in this specific population is warranted, given the high burden of neglected health needs. Aims: To assess mental pain levels in individuals with GD, compared to a control group, and to evaluate potential psychological correlates. Method: In this case-control study, 180 individu…
The future of phenomenological psychopathology
The ways in which we attempt to make sense of psychiatric illness have been slow to progress. Over the last several decades, clinicians and researchers have inherited one-size-fits-all diagnostic f
Homo œconomicus
This paper describes the form that narcissism takes in contemporary society in the light of Homo œconomicus – a concept developed by philosopher Foucault to describe a key figure of late modernity: the entrepreneur of himself whose core values are utility (every action must be directed towards production) and optimization (what costs more than it produces is a dead branch to be cut). Homo œconomicus is the subject of so-called “achievement societ…
The person’s position-taking in the shaping of schizophrenic phenomena
Traditional psychopathological approaches to modelling the evolution of mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, often rest on the assumption that symptoms are the passive expression of an underlying disease process. In contrast, phenomenological approaches have highlighted the role that the person, as a meaning-making agent undergoing basic anomalous experiences, plays in the construction of their worlds – thus partly shaping the manifestation a…
Transdiagnostic assessment of temporal experience (Tate) a tool for assessing abnormal time experiences
Autism Rating Scale
Social dysfunctions (SD) are frequently observed in subjects with schizophrenia. Some of these dysfunctions are also observed in other neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD), major depression, bipolar disorder, or Alzheimer disease. Recently, a characterization of a specific type of SD in schizophrenia has been proposed, with the concept of dis-sociality, which form the core aspect of "Schizophrenic Autism" (SA). The p…
Digital Phenotyping
This paper explores the potential threats of digital phenotyping and the ways it may redesign our body experience and conceptualization. We argue that technology in digital medicine, and in psychiatry in particular, is not merely an extrinsic device to achieve improvements in knowledge, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases; rather, it intrinsically and unavoidably implies potential effects on what it is to be a human person, namely the embodiment…
The Oxford Handbook of Phenomenological Psychopathology
For about one century the catalogue of books in phenomenological psychopathology has been tremendously rich in essays, but remarkably poor in handbooks. Even the cornerstone of our canon, Jaspers’ General Psychopathology, originally written as a textbook, can hardly be given to a student as a basic reading. This makes extremely difficult teaching the fundamentals of our discipline. Students ask for manualized knowledge expecting teachers to expla…
Oxford Handbook of Phenomenological Psychopathology
The field of phenomenological psychopathology (PP) is concerned with exploring and describing the individual experience of those suffering from mental disorders. Whilst there is often an understandable emphasis within psychiatry on diagnosis and treatment, the subjective experience of the individual is frequently overlooked. Yet a patient's own account of how their illness affects their thoughts, values, consciousness, and sense of self, can prov…
The Optical-Coenaesthetic Disproportion Hypothesis of Feeding and Eating Disorders in the Light of Neuroscience
This article builds on and extends the 'optical-coenaesthetic disproportion' (OCDisp) hypothesis of feeding and eating disorders (FEDs) matching data obtained through clinical research with laboratory evidence from neuroscience and neuropsychological studies. The OCDisp hypothesis, developed through the assessment in clinical setting of bodily experience using the IDentity and EAting (IDEA) disorder questionnaire, argues that in persons with FED …
New Perspectives in Phenomenological Psychopathology
Phenomenological psychopathology is a body of scientific knowledge on which the clinical practice of psychiatry is based since the first decades of the twentieth century, a method to assess the patient's abnormal experiences from their own perspective, and more importantly, a science responsible for delimiting the object of psychiatry. Recently, the frontiers of phenomenological psychopathology have expanded to the productive development of thera…
Lost in Dialogue
This book will build on and develop the assumption that to be human means to be in dialogue . Dialogue is a unitary concept that will attempt to address in a coherent way three essential issues for clinical practice: ‘What is a human being?’, ‘What is mental pathology?’, and ‘What is care?’. It will argue that to be human means to be in dialogue with alterity, that mental pathology is the outcome of a crisis of one’s dialogue with alterity, and t…
The primacy of relation
Perhaps the highest philosophical principle consists in holding oneself open to the dialogue. Building on Martin Buber’s philosophy, this chapter argues that there is no ‘I’ taken in itself. The ‘I’ of the ‘I–You’ combination is different from the ‘I’ of the ‘I–It’ combination. When a person says ‘I’ he refers to one or other of these. There is a radical difference between a person’s attitude to another person and her attitude to things. In the p…
Epiphanies of alterity
This chapter explains that we encounter alterity in two main domains: in ourselves , and in the external world . In the first case alterity is in the involuntary dimension of ourselves, as (for instance) our un-chosen ‘character’, including needs, desires, emotions, and habits. In the external world, alterity is encountered in the challenging otherness of the events and in the meetings with other persons that constellate our life. This involuntar…
The portrait of the clinician as a globally minded citizen
This chapter argues that the specialist in mental health care should have the ability to think what it might be like to be in the shoes of a person different from oneself, to be an intelligent reader of that person’s story, and to understand the emotions, wishes, and desires that someone so placed might have. She should be trained to confront human vulnerability, the evidence of our animality and fragile rationality, the anxieties for our mortali…
The body as alterity
This chapter argues that gender dysphoria—a person suffering from an incongruence between experienced gender and assigned gender—is another illustration of the vulnerable duplicity inherent in the human condition. I am not merely the matter of which I am made. Rather, I am that matter plus the form that I impose upon it. In trying to shape my matter, I experience myself as an autonomous person and, simultaneously, as a person whose autonomy is li…
Habitus
This chapter argues that my habits seem to be what is most distant from alterity as they pertain to order and regularity. Yet, habits exonerate me from reflecting each time about the proper way to act under given circumstances. Thus, acting on the basis of habit means to act unreflectively and involuntarily. The ‘habitual self’ is opposed to the ‘reflecting self’. Habit actually is the power of forgetting. It is not unconscious in a psychodynamic…
Emotions and Personhood
Emotions and Personhood provides a framework for understanding the relationship between emotion and human experience, and attempts to understand human emotions from the combined approach of philosophy and psychopathology, taking its models particularly from hermeneutical phenomenology and from dialectical psychopathology.
Ambivalent Personhood
The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Psychiatry
This book presents a lively cross section of recent cross-disciplinary research in the rapidly expanding field of philosophy and psychiatry. Co-branded between the Oxford Philosophy Handbook and IPPP ( International Perspectives in Philosophy and Psychiatry ) book series, the volume includes a number of features designed to reflect the dynamic two-way interplay between theory and practice that has emerged as such a key feature of the new field.

Emotions And Personhood Exploring Fragility Making Sense Of Vulnerability
De Martino's concept of critical ethnocentrism and its relevance to transcultural psychiatry
Ethnography and hermeneutics help us think of the clinical encounter as a meeting of cultures. In this paper, we examine Ernesto De Martino's concept of critical ethnocentrism and its relevance for psychiatry, arguing for the necessity of a cultural self-assessment on the part of the clinician as a means of optimizing analyses of the patient's culture. Conceptualizing the clinician as an "ethnologist," we argue that clinicians should be able to d…
In the Mood for Thought
For more than a decade, emotions have been a hot topic in philosophy as well as in most other areas of the humanities. While the emotional dimension of thinking, deliberation, and behavior is more closely examined than ever before, rarely is the emotional aspect of philosophy itself the topic of philosophical inquiry. This essay argues that there is much to be gained from an investigation of the emotional aspect of philosophical texts. Drawing on…

Schizophrenic Consciousness, Spiritual Experience, and the Borders Between Things, Images and Words
A prototypical feature of schizophrenic consciousness is that it undergoes a solidification of the imaginary space in which mental events take place. The bipartition between images and 'real' things is jeopardized and imagination is transformed into 'physical' forms. Parallel to this solidification of imaginary space in schizophrenic consciousness, more generally the rigid tripartite separation of things, images and words upon which the spatial o…
Disembodied Spirits and Deanimated Bodies
"How can we better understand and treat people affected by schizophrenia and manic-depressive illnesses? This important new book takes us into the world of those suffering from such disorders. Using self descriptions, its emphasis is not on how we view sufferers, but on how the patients themselves experience their disorder. Central to the book is the idea that schizophrenic people live like disembodied spirits or deanimated bodies. As disembodied…
