Close, yet so far away: a phenomenology of the praecox feeling in the diagnosis of schizophrenia as intercorporeal alienness.

Debates concerning the reliability and validity of operationalized criteria and diagnostic tools have surrounded the issue of schizophrenia diagnosis and clinical decision-making related to the disorder.

In this paper, we argue that PF is enabled by the (phenomenologically understood) intercorporeal dimension of the clinical encounter.

Transdiagnostic Assessment of Temporal Experience (TATE) in Mental Disorders-Empirical Validation and Adaptation of a Structured Phenomenological Interview.

Abnormal experiences of time (ATEs) are an established object of research in phenomenological psychopathology. The purpose of this study was the first validation of the Transdiagnostic Assessment of Temporal Experience (TATE), a structured phenomenological interview concerning ATEs in individuals with diverse mental health conditions, and its adaptation for the Polish language. The research employed a mixed-method approach and consisted of several phases including (1) consensual translation; (2) construct and content validation by an expert panel; (3) direct feedback from patients with lived experiences of alcohol addiction, borderline personality, autism, and clinical depression; (4) an auditorium questionnaire with 98 respondents without mental health issues, who were both interviewed and gave qualitative feedback; and (5) a final expert panel and approval.
