Abstract
In this chapter, the author explains from 1969 to 1972, he was a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Clinical Psychology at the Western Missouri Mental Health Center in Kansas City. The author draws at this institution because of its Director of Clinical Training, the legendary psychotherapist Austin Des Lauriers, author of The Experience of Reality in Childhood Schizophrenia . Its psychotherapy, accordingly, involves most centrally the reconsolidation and restoration of that sense. Although Des Lauriers made use of medical-diagnostic language in his writings, his fundamental conception was about something happening in subjective experience—i.e., it was phenomenological.
