Bereavement, pathos , and clinical psychology: a phenomenological reading

This study aims to present bereavement in this perspective, and its implications for clinical psychology. When we submit the phenomenon of bereavement to epoch é, we find evidence of intersubjectivity. It is an experience that begins with the abrupt suppression of the other as corporeality, which breaks the habitual meanings of the life-world. In the face of meaning suspension, it is proposed that the clinical setting allows the resumption and re-signific ation of the interrupted narratives, against a new life-world opened on the outside of the horizon of theoretical predeterminations.
