Summary
Erwin W. Straus's work examines how psychotic disorders alter the experience of space and time, arguing that these dimensions are not merely physical but are fundamentally shaped by human existence and intentionality. He describes how psychosis disrupts the lived sense of spatial orientation and temporal continuity, leading to a fragmented and distorted reality. Straus's analysis contributes to phenomenological psychiatry by emphasizing that disturbances in space and time are central to understanding psychotic experiences.
