`Psychopathology and phenomenology are central to our understanding of mental illnesses. This volume brings readers an updated knowledge of the field, addressing the relationships between phenomenology, psychopathology, clinical practice, and the patient's lived experience of mental disorders. It provides an insight into the complex phenomenon of psychopathology. The book is impressive in scope and diverse in content and the contributors are all experienced professionals working in this area. Anyone who wants to understand more about these topics needs to read this book. ' Afzal Javed, Consultant Psychiatrist, UK & President Elect World Psychiatric Association `This book is a welcome antidote to reductionism and oversimplification in the research and clinical approach to mental disorders. A treasure of information and reflection - which has been available up to now only to a very small circle of scholars proficient in German and French and having access to rich libraries - has been collected in a single volume. It should become a must-read in psychiatric education and continuing professional development. ' Mario Maj, Professor of Psychiatry and Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Naples, Italy and Past President, World Psychiatric Association `Phenomenology is fundamental for identifying psychopathology and is the first step in understanding mental disorders. This is lost in a field where brief assessment is common and psychopathology targets for scientific discovery are shallow. This Handbook provides essential reading addressing an unmet need for depth in psychopathology concepts. Implications for clinical care and research are substantial. ' William T. Carpenter, Jr., MD, Professor of Psychiatry, The University of Maryland School of Medicine, USA `A tour de force of breadth, depth and expertise, this volume provides the most detailed mapping of phenomenological psychopathology to date. Written and edited by major scholars from multiple disciplines, this volume systematically covers the field with unprecedented detail and richness of approaches, authors, and ideas.
