Abstract

Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder that has long been regarded as irreversibly degenerative. However, the recent improvements in treatment and prognosis, and the trend towards person-centred care has reversed this fatalistic tendency, and encouraged the development of theoretical and clinical tools to support these people as closely as possible to their concerns. In this article, we look at how bibliotherapy, namely care assisted by the reading of literary fictions, might be conceived in relation to the classic psychotherapeutic framework. To circumscribe the definition of this approach for people with schizophrenia, we will refer to the work of Giovanni Stanghellini, and in particular to two of his works: the Phenomenology, Hermeneutics and Psychodynamics model, and his epistemological theory of Images. Thus, we shall see that the clinical particularities of bibliotherapy could assist a person-centered psychotherapy by promoting the unfolding of people's phenomenological experiences, opening them up to other ways of interpreting them, and re-establishing the dialogue between the self and its existence. Bibliotherapy could hence participate in the contemporary movements of clinical hermeneutic phenomenology, medical humanities and experiential recovery.

期刊介绍: ''Psychopathology'' is a record of research centered on findings, concepts, and diagnostic categories of phenomenological, experimental and clinical psychopathology. Studies published are designed to improve and deepen the knowledge and understanding of the pathogenesis and nature of psychopathological symptoms and psychological dysfunctions. Furthermore, the validity of concepts applied in the neurosciences of mental functions are evaluated in order to closely bring together the mind and the brain. Major topics of the journal are trajectories between biological processes and psychological dysfunction that can help us better understand a subject’s inner experiences and interpersonal behavior. Descriptive psychopathology, experimental psychopathology and neuropsychology, developmental psychopathology, transcultural psychiatry as well as philosophy-based phenomenology contribute to this field.
