生物学精神病理学完全聚集于精神疾病的神经生理机制,而现象学精神病理学认为精神疾病的本质潜藏在精神病人的主观经验中。精神疾病不同于神经疾病,它不能与具体的、可定位的大脑损伤相关联,而只能与大脑与世界之间的交互失常相联系。精神异常不能只在纯粹物理的神经层面上加以探索,还必须在心物交互的层面上加以探索。另外,精神正常与异常的区分,单靠纯粹的神经机制也是难以确定的,而必须依靠对于疾病的主观经验来确定。换言之,精神机制异常的根源在于相应的主观经验是紊乱的、人与世界的交互是无效的。现象学精神病理学不仅克服了传统的心物二元论难题,而且为理解精神疾病提供了新颖的进路。未来,如何以对精神疾病的现象学哲学描述为先导,并借助神经科学的方法与技术,进一步揭示精神疾病的发生原因,将会是一种极富启示的跨学科尝试。
Biological psychopathology almost focuses on the neurotic mechanism of mental diseases, but phenomenological psychopathology claims that the nature of mental diseases is hidden in the patients' subjective experiences. Mental diseases is different from the neurological diseases because the former can 't be related to the concrete and located brain's damage but be associated with the disturbance of interaction between brain and world. Mental abnormity can't only be explored at the pure physical level, but also be explored at the level of the interaction between mind and matter. In other words, the source of neurotic disorders is that corresponding subjective experiences are disturbed and the interaction between man and world is invalid. Phenomenological psychopathology not only has solved the traditional dualism problem, but also provided the new approach of understanding mental diseases. In the future, it will be an inspiring and interdisciplinary attempt that to reveal the genetic cause of mental diseases with the phenomenological description and neurotic technology.
