Time and Body cover

This book advances the development of phenomenological psychopathology and demonstrates its applicability to a spectrum of mental disorders.

This book guides advanced undergraduates, researchers and practitioners through current debates at the interface of psychology, phenomenology, and psychiatry. It demonstrates how psychopathology benefits from phenomenological and embodied approaches, and how they combine to apply to a range of mental disorders.Time and Body promotes the application of phenomenological psychopathology and embodied research to a broad spectrum of mental disorders. In a new and practical way, it integrates the latest research on the temporal and intersubjective constitution of the body, self and its mental disorders from phenomenological, embodied and interdisciplinary research perspectives. The authors investigate how temporal processes apply to the contribution of embodiment and selfhood, as well as to their destabilization, such as in eating disorders and borderline personality disorders, schizophrenia, depression, social anxiety or dementia. The chapters demonstrate the applicability of phenomenological psychopathology to a range of illnesses and its relevance to treatment and clinical practice.

'Offering a solid overview of the important topics in the linkage between phenomenology and psychopathology, this volume will appeal to scholars of philosophy, psychology, and psychiatry, as well as to practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of common mental illness ... Highly recommended.' M. Uebel, Choice Magazine
'… the volume collects a reputable and recommendable compilation of texts which can rightfully serve as a standard reference for the contemporary state of the art in phenomenological psychopathology. It is safe to say that the aim of the editors 'to present new insights from phenomenological psychopathology' … has been successfully reached.' Alexander Nicolai Wendt, Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences
'… the book offers some important contributions (particularly, Tewes & Stanghellini, 2021; Fuchs, 2021; Legrand, 2021; Køster, 2021; Ratcliffe & Bortolan, 2021; Schmidt, 2021; Froese & Krueger, 2021) to enlightening the interconnection between temporality, embodiment and intersubjectivity (Fuchs, 2013b, 2017, 2018b) and its significance for psychopathology (Fuchs, 2021).'
