Intensive Summer Course in Clinical Phenomenology
In recent years there has been a growing interest in phenomenology from the mental health sciences, especially from psychology and psychiatry. The legacy of its classic texts (Jaspers, Binswanger, Minkowski, Tellenbach, Blankenburg), combined with more recent intersections with other fields of knowledge (such as cognitive sciences and enactivism) has produced a rich literature on how to apply phenomenology in clinical practice. It is exactly the question of how to deploy the phenomenological method in an interdisciplinary field that this course aims to explore.
The overarching aim of this course is to offer a comprehensive introduction to the history, theory and practice of phenomenology in clinical contexts. Starting with historical and philosophical foundations, the course aims to show how the use of some categories of the phenomenological tradition (ie., self, subjectivity, embodiment, corporeality, temporality, spatiality, etc.) may enrich the understanding of psychopathological experiences and shape person-centred practices of care. In this intensive course participants will not deal only with diagnostic nomenclatures, rather they will be guided toward the articulation of phenomenologically researchable questions which shed light on the alteration and disturbances which occur in the intersubjective domain.
The course is specifically designed for mental health professionals who are not familiar with the phenomenological tradition and its developments, but it is also open to philosophers and to those who work in the interdisciplinary field of philosophy and mental health.
In order to participate in the course, to receive the registration form and information about the payment, participants are invited to send an email to phenolab2019@gmail.com
Registration fees include online lectures, teaching materials, reading and discussion groups. Recordings of the course will be available but not disseminated publicly on our YouTube channel.
