Phenomenological and recovery models of the subjective experience of psychosis: discrepancies and implications for treatment
Psychosis October 2, 2018 J. Hamm, Bethany L. Leonhardt, Jeremy M. Ridenour et al. 24 citations
Two approaches studying first-person experience in psychosis—philosophical phenomenology and the recovery movement—offer different but potentially complementary insights. Phenomenology describes how lived experience in psychosis deviates from health, proposing the ipseity disturbance model, while recovery writings focus on experiences of moving toward well-being. These differences make integration for treatment challenging. The authors examine major tenets of each literature and suggest future directions for reconciling their contributions.
