Call for papers
‘The Phenomenology of Social Impairments’
Special Issue of Phenomenology and Mind

Phenomenology and Mind invites submissions for a special issue dedicated to ‘The Phenomenology of Social Impairments’. Phenomenological approaches help shed light on the experiential aspects of human sociality, and facilitate a systematic exploration of various subjective and intersubjective experiential anomalies.

The editors welcome contributions that are related – but not limited – to the following questions:
> How can phenomenological methods help explain disturbances of intersubjectivity?
> How can we distinguish between the structures of intersubjective engagement in autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder?
> How does corporeality impact the development of intersubjectivity and what are the ways in which it is disrupted?
> How does interaffectivity modulate social engagements and how is it regulated and disturbed?
> Can we use phenomenology to elaborate new therapeutic directions?
