Psychopathology and phenomenology are central to our understanding of mental illness
es. This volume brings readers an updated knowledge of the field, addressing the rela
tionships between phenomenology, psychopathology, clinical practice, and the patient’s
lived experience of mental disorders. It provides an insight into the complex phenomenon
of psychopathology. The book is impressive in scope and diverse in content and the con
tributors are all experienced professionals working in this area. Anyone who wants to un
derstand more about these topics needs to read this book. This is indeed “a must” read
for all those interested in this subject.
Afzal Javed, Consultant Psychiatrist, UK and President Elect, World Psychiatric Associa
tion
This book is a welcome antidote to reductionism and oversimplification in the research
and clinical approach to mental disorders. A treasure of information and reflection -
which has been available up to now only to a very small circle of scholars proficient in
German and French and having access to rich libraries - has been collected in a single
volume. It should become a must-read in psychiatric education and continuing profession
al development.
Mario Maj, Professor of Psychiatry and Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry of the
University of Naples, Italy and Past President, World Psychiatric Association
Phenomenology is fundamental for identifying psychopathology and is the first step in un
derstanding mental disorders. This is lost in a field where brief assessment is common
and psychopathology targets for scientific discovery are shallow. This Handbook provides
essential reading addressing an unmet need for depth in psychopathology concepts. Im
plications for clinical care and research are substantial.
William T. Carpenter, Jr., MD, Professor of Psychiatry, The University of Maryland School
of Medicine, USA

A tour de force of breadth, depth and expertise, this volume provides the most detailed
mapping of phenomenological psychopathology to date. Written and edited by major
scholars from multiple disciplines, this volume systematically covers the field with un
precedented detail and richness of approaches, authors, and ideas.
Havi Carel, Professor of Philosophy, University of Bristol, UK
There has not, to date, been a book with such ambition. The framing of phenomenological
and existential psychopathology, its anthropology, the definition of theoretical basis and
origins, the addition of a psychodynamic corpus, the exposure of major pathologies and
situations of pain in the existence, the confrontation of it with neurosciences and cogni
tive sciences: this is what is at stake here. The book gathers remarkable contributions
from all parts of Europe, the US and the AngloSaxon world. This is what enables phenom
enological psychopathology to reach an unprecedented status, which is both global, and
at the heart of contemporary scientific, anthropologic and philosophical life.
