    Publication of the collective volume ‘La clínica de la subjetividad’ (The Clinic of Subjectivity), coordinated by Enric Novella

     

    Enric Novella, professor of history of science at the University of Valencia and researcher at the IILP, has coordinated the publication of the collective volume La clínica de la subjetividad. Psychopathology (structural) and culture (contemporary), published at the end of 2025 by Tirant Humanities. Attached is the text of your editorial presentation.

     

    Starting from the widely held view that psychiatry and clinical psychology face a significant crisis of legitimacy stemming from their insistence on tackling the study of subjectivity with the methods and assumptions of the natural sciences, this book examines from a multidisciplinary perspective (historical, clinical, anthropological and literary) the origins, foundations and cultural embedding of the holistic, reconstructive and hermeneutic approach to the experience of madness and psychic suffering advocated by structural psychopathology and, more specifically, by phenomenological-anthropological psychopathology. In this way, its successive chapters address the historical trajectory, the epistemological demands and the current relevance of the (structural) psychopathology project in the context of the prevailing dissatisfaction with the impoverishment (or the very abolition) of psychopathological activity, of the enormous projection of psi knowledge and practices into contemporary societies and of the growing historiographical and cultural interest in the experience of otherness, autobiographical narratives and testimonial literature.
