Key points Argues that phenomenological accounts by Tatossian, Kraus, and Kimura reframe schizophrenia as a disturbance of lived identity and temporality rather than a static split, with Kimura describing an excessive "futurisation" and impatience to exist. The authors contend these perspectives can inform and enrich care projects without yielding objective therapeutic applications.

Abstract

In his work « Phenomenology of Psychosis » Arthur Tatossian tends to report the basal alteration of patients to a constrained phenomenological reduction and deducts the drive of daily life as a sensitive point of the schizophrenic experience, vulnerability and mark of his destiny. This perspective reveals the challenge of the dynamics of human identity. Going beyond the spatial figure of a split, Alfred Kraus takes up the living format of the dynamics of « role », which regulates the relation of the subject to Self and others, and suggests to report symptoms and syndromes, another stake destined, to one of the variants dialectics of the balance between self and others. We return to the psychopathological intuition of the origins of psychiatric phenomenology to relate the disorder to a particular experience of the lived time, a modification of the relations between the temporal ecstasies that Bin Kimura describes as an excessive « futurisation » by accentuation of the possible and impatience to exist. These approaches inform in a novel way the system of care, and far from advocating objective therapeutic applications, generate implications that can enrich and enhance care projects.
