Subjective Experiences of Emerging Psychosis

Recherches en psychanalyse December 1, 2013 Sarah Troubé 3 citations

The initial phases of psychosis often involve transformations in subjective experience, which have been closely examined in phenomenological psychiatry. These experiences now play a significant role in certain neurocognitive models of delusions in schizophrenia. The paper proposes approaching these inaugural psychotic experiences as a privileged interface between phenomenological descriptions of being-in-the-world, hypotheses about possible perceptual alterations underlying these experiences, and the clinical and psychodynamic dimension of a specific mode of wavering or loss of contact with reality.
