Section Phenomenological Psychopathology and Psychotherapy

The interdisciplinary research group “Phenomenological Psychopathology and Psychotherapy“, led by Prof. Dr. med. Dr. phil. Thomas Fuchs,  explores the underlying structures of subjective experience and their alterations in mental illness, using both theoretical as well as empirical methodologies. Here psychiatrists, philosophers and psychologists work together on common issues such as changes of the self-awareness, corporeality or intersubjectivity due to mental illness.
