Comparative analysis of the temporal structure in cases of depression and schizophrenia

Authors

Santiago Flórez Sánchez Universidad de los Andes ,

Based on the Husserlian phenomenology theoretical framework —in line with the recent dimensional approach of psychopathological classification—this paper proposes a comparative analysis of depression and schizophrenia. After analyzing some of Husserl’s (1973) basic ideas on the phenomenological description of temporal consciousness, this paper addresses how these theoretical bases can create a conception of the aforementioned mental diseases. Therefore, we mainly appeal to Fuchs (2001, 2005, 2007, 2013) and Ratcliffe (2012), who consider that an anomaly in the experience of possibility (embedded in temporal consciousness) would provide the key to pinpoint both depressive and schizophrenic experience. The result of this comparative analysis points out that the difference between these two psychopathologies lies in the nature of the anomaly of the experience of possibility: while depression points to a reduction of experiences of practical possibility, schizophrenia refers to a fragmentation of temporal consciousness due to a protensional dysfunction.
