Patologias mentais do século XXI : uma análise a partir da psicologia fenomenológica existencial no contexto da pós-modernidade

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to understand human suffering and the psychological illness of 21st century man. Through an understanding of man based on existential phenomenological psychology, it seeks to understand how human existence is constituted. Based on the philosophical and psychological assumptions that underpin this approach, an understanding of human suffering is sought with the aim of providing theoretical support for understanding both human suffering and psychic illness itself. Finally, we seek to analyze the mental pathologies of the 21st century, in a process of congruence between existential phenomenological psychology and contemporary authors of philosophy and sociology, who deal more specifically with postmodern illnesses and the ways in which society functions today.
