Abstract

ROT, JEAN-MICHEL. CONSCIOUSNESS OF ONESELF AS ANOTHER TOWARD REVISITING THE PSYCHOPATHOLOGICAL TRADITION. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2017, vol.66, suppl.3, pp.193-220. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v66n3supl.65649.

This article defends the general view that contemporary psychopathology suffers from a descriptive gap with respect to pathological experience and that the psycho-pathological tradition has accumulated a descriptive capital that should be used in the necessary effort to overcome this gap. This general thesis is argued for by examining the specific case of the cognitive psychopathology of schizophrenia and the experience of the delusion of control, showing how Henri Ey's theory and the 19th century theory of mental automatism in which the former is rooted contain important descriptive tools for establishing that the experience of a delusion of control is fundamentally different from that of a sheer illusion of control.

Keywords : descriptive gap; explanatory gap; delusion of control; schizophrenia; psychopatology.
