Phenomenological Psychopathology, corporeality, intercorporeality, melancholic depression, Thomas FuchsAbstract
In this paper, we aimed to review the theorical foundations of Thomas Fuchs’ phenomenological psychopathology regarding the experience of the body in melancholic depression. Through research in electronic databases, we performed a literature review which investigated papers published by the author between the years of 1994 and 2018. We’ve found the corporeality highlighted as an access way to understanding melancholic depression, developed towards intercorporeality by focusing on the idea of intersubjectivity. Intercorporeality is the bridge of ambiguous constitution of the human-world relation, allowing the sharing of our experiences. For Fuchs, melancholic depression is a disorder of intercorporeality, because instead of connecting human and world, the bodily experience becomes an obstacle. Fuchs contributes for the construction of an embodied human perspective; in which it is set as an indivisible unit in the experience by comprehending melancholic depression as a patient’s way of being in the world.
