Abstract
A summary account of the results of recent attempts to apply phenomenological methods and points of view to psychology, psychopathology, and psychotherapy. The phenomenological psychiatrist is more interested in broadly philosophical implications than his more "scientifically"-minded colleague, and the organization of his analysis and treatment is largely determined in accordance with metaphysical and epistemological categories. Simply written for the non-specialist, the book makes liberal use of concrete case material for illustrative examples.--J. P.
