Descriptive psychopathology, phenomenology, and the legacy of Karl Jaspers.

Abstract:

:With his early publications (1910-1913), Karl Jaspers created a comprehensive methodological arsenal for psychiatry, thus laying the foundation for descriptive psychopathology. Following Edmund Husserl, the founder of philosophical phenomenology, Jaspers introduced phenomenology into psychopathology as "static understanding," ie, the unprejudiced intuitive reproduction (Vergegenwärtigung) and description of conscious phenomena. In a longitudinal perspective, "genetic understanding" based on empathy reveals how mental phenomena arise from mental phenomena. Severance in understanding of, or alienation from, meaningful connections is seen as indicating illness or transition of a natural development into a somatic process. Jaspers opted for philosophy early. After three terms of law, he switched to studying medicine, came to psychopathology after very little training in psychiatry; to psychology without ever studying psychology; and to a chair in philosophy without ever studying philosophy. In the fourth and subsequent editions of his General Psychopathology, imbued by his existential philosophy, Jaspers partly abandoned the descriptive method. :A partir de sus primeras publicaciones (1910-1913) Karl Jaspers creó un arsenal metodológico comprensible para la psiquiatría, sentando así las bases para la psicopatología descríptíva. Siguiendo a Edmund Husserl -fundador de la fenomenología filosófica- Jaspers introdujo la fenomenología en la psicopatología como una “comprensión estática”, es decir, la reproducción intuitiva no prejuiciosa (Vergegenwärtigung) y la description de los fenómenos conscientes. En una perspectiva longitudinal, la “comprensión genética” basada en la empatía revela cómo aparecen los fenómenos mentales a partir de los fenómenos mentales. El cese de la comprensión o la alienación de las conexiones significativas son vistas como indicios de enfermedad o de la transición desde un desarrollo natural hacia un proceso somático. Jaspers optó precozmente por la filosofía. Después de tres trimestres de cursar derecho se cambió a estudiar medicina. Posteriormente se dedicó a la psicopatología después de un breve entrenamiento en psiquiatría, a la psicología sin haber estudiado psicología y tuvo una cátedra de filosofía sin haber estudiado filosofía. En la cuarta y siguientes ediciones de su Psicopatología General, Jaspers -imbuido por su filosofía existencial- abandonó parcialmente el método descriptivo. :Karl Jaspers a créé, avec ses premières publications (1910-1913), un arsenal méthodologique détaillé pour la psychiatrie, posant donc les fondations de la psychopathologie descriptive. Après Edmund Husserl, le fondateur de la phénoménologie philosophique, Jaspers a introduit la phénoménologie dans la psychopathologie comme une «compréhension statique», c'est-à-dire la reproduction intuitive impartiale (Vergegenwärtigung) et la description des phénomènes conscients. Dans une perspective longitudinale, la «compréhension génétique» basée sur l'empathie révèle comment les phénomènes mentaux émanent de phénomènes mentaux. La perte de la compréhension ou la distanciation des connexions cohérentes sont vues comme un indicateur de la maladie ou une transition d'une évolution naturelle en processus somatique. Jaspers a opté très tôt pour la philosophie. Après 3 trimestres de droit, il a fait des études de médecine, puis en vint à la psychopathologie après une très brève formation en psychiatrie ; à la psychologie sans jamais l'avoir étudiée ; et à une chaire de philosophie sans jamais avoir étudié la philosophie. Dans la quatrième édition et les suivantes de sa Psychopathologie Générale, Jaspers, imprégné de sa philosophie existentielle, abandonne en partie la méthode descriptive.
