Description
The field of psychiatry has long grappled with shifting paradigms of clinical practice, often overlooking the vital interpersonal dynamics that are essential to effective treatment.
In this groundbreaking essay, **Lost in Dialogue** (PDF), the focus is shifted to the concept of intersubjectivity, aiming to restore the delicate interplay between the soul and the self, as well as between individuals. Throughout this work, it is posited that being human inherently involves engaging in dialogue. The essay examines this dialogue as a cohesive framework to explore three pivotal questions in clinical practice: ‘What constitutes mental pathology?’, ‘What defines a human being?’, and ‘What does care encompass?’. The central argument suggests that the essence of humanity lies in the conversations we have both with ourselves and with others. Consequently, mental pathology is presented as a disruption of this essential dialogue—both internal dialogue with one’s own alterity and external engagement with the alterity of other individuals. Thus, the therapeutic endeavor is framed as a conversation guided by a methodology aimed at rekindling this fractured dialogue with alterity.
**Lost in Dialogue: Anthropology, Psychopathology and Care (International Perspectives in Philosophy and Psychiatry)** provides a valuable framework for approaching the Other, enabling a deeper understanding of their experiences, actions, and the context of their existence.
