Psychiatric Experience and Psychopathology. Philosophical Implications in the Self-Comprehension of the Psychiatry

Abstract

The aim is to show that attempts to access psychiatric experience and determine it from naturalistic and psychologist positions, which are the dominant ones, entail instability and that this precisely characterizes the field of psychiatry historically. Assuming the philosophical implications of approaching this open empirical field, it is postulated that only psychopathology, in its exercise as a procedure that is both logical and intellectual, makes it possible to relate the different planes of reality in which it unfolds and to try to close its field to provide psychiatry with the necessary stability required for its clinical practice.
