Fundamental concepts of phenomenology and descriptive psychopathology
Journal Title: Open Journal of Psychiatry & Allied Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
For a better understanding of what psychiatry is all about, the importance and stronghold of phenomenology and descriptive psychopathology in psychiatry has never been overstated. Biological psychiatry has accumulated enough evidences of mental illnesses until now but that does not mean that phenomenology and psychopathology would lose its shine. Rather psychopathology and phenomenology will afoot stronger as it is the philosophy of psychiatry.
