Time and Body promotes the application of phenomenological psychopathology and embodied research to a broad spectrum of mental disorders. In a new and practical way, it integrates the latest research on the temporal and intersubjective constitution of the body, self and its mental disorders from phenomenological, embodied and interdisciplinary research perspectives. The authors investigate how temporal processes apply to the contribution of embodiment and selfhood, as well as to their destabilization, such as in eating disorders and borderline personality disorders, schizophrenia, depression, social anxiety or dementia. The chapters demonstrate the applicability of phenomenological psychopathology to a range of illnesses and its relevance to treatment and clinical practice.

This book advances the development of phenomenological psychopathology and demonstrates its applicability to a spectrum of mental disorders.

Highly recommended.' M. Uebel, Choice Magazine
'... the volume collects a reputable and recommendable compilation of texts which can rightfully serve as a standard reference for the contemporary state of the art in phenomenological psychopathology.
