A Phenomological- Contextualist Approach to PsychoanalysisA Phenomological- Contextualist Approach to Psychoanalysis
by Robert Stolorow
"The psychiatric diagnostic system, as exemplified by the DSM, is a pseudo-scientific
framework for diagnosing sick Cartesian isolated minds. As such, it completely overlooks the
exquisite context sensitivity and radical context dependence of human emotional life and of all
forms of emotional disturbance. In Descartes's vision, the mind is a "thinking thing,"
ontologically decontextualized, fundamentally separated from its world. Heidegger's
existential phenomenology mended this Cartesian subject-object split, unveiling our Being as
always already contextualized, a Being- in-the-world. Here I offer a critique of studies in
"phenomenological psychopathology" that presuppose the validity of the psychiatric diagnostic
system and leave it unchallenged. I n this vein, I contend that all emotionalI n this vein, I contend that all emotional
disturbances are constituted in an indissoluble context of humandisturbances are constituted in an indissoluble context of human
interrelatedness. Specifically, I claim that all emotional disturbances, includinginterrelatedness. Specifically, I claim that all emotional disturbances, including
those objectified by the DSM, take form in relational contexts of severethose objectified by the DSM, take form in relational contexts of severe
emotional trauma. There are no psychiatr ic entities, only devastating contexts.emotional trauma. There are no psychiatr ic entities, only devastating contexts.
Additionally, I show that Heidegger's analyses of Angst, world-collapse, uncanniness, and
thrownness into Being-toward-death provide extraordinary philosophical tools for grasping
the existential significance of such contexts of emotional trauma. Applying Heidegger's
concept of authenticity, I suggest that emotional health entails an ease of passage- i.e., an
absence of dissociation-between the world of trauma and the world of everydayness." -
