Abstract

Experimental phenomenology is the investigation of phenomenological practices and their effects. To engage in a phenomenological practice means to focus attention on aspects of one’s experiences (e.g., sense impressions or body sensations) while adopting a specific kind of attitude (e.g., an explorative attitude) according to some set of instructions. The basic assumption is that the regulation of attention and attitudes involved in such practices may have effects on people’s health and quality of life. The present paper describes the basic principles of experimental phenomenology as an approach to personalized health interventions and illustrates these principles with a case, where a mindful embodiment practice was constructed for an individual suffering from insomnia due to early morning awakenings. The results are discussed in terms of the importance of personalization, the ambition to formulate general conclusions about the effects of phenomenological practices, and the need for measurements not only before and after treatment but also during the treatment process.
作为个性化健康干预的实验现象学:一个案例说明
实验现象学是对现象学实践及其影响的研究。从事现象学实践意味着在根据某种指令采取特定态度(如探索态度)的同时,将注意力集中在一个人经历的各个方面(如感觉印象或身体感觉)。基本假设是,对这种做法所涉及的注意力和态度的调节可能会对人们的健康和生活质量产生影响。本文描述了作为个性化健康干预方法的实验现象学的基本原理,并通过一个案例说明了这些原理,其中为一个因清晨醒来而失眠的个体构建了一个正念化身实践。从个性化的重要性、制定关于现象学实践效果的一般结论的雄心以及治疗前后以及治疗过程中测量的必要性等方面讨论了结果。
