Psychiatrie phénoménologique, médecine de la personne et big data

Next to psychoanalysis, neurosciences and cognitivism is a historical trend in psychiatry, which lies in the minority and is not taught much: phenomenological psychiatry. Inspired by Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, it echoed in Ricoeur's work; carried by Binswanger, Minkowski, Tatossian, Lanteri-Laura, it still has its promoters and its researchers. The pathology thought as a lost of “pouvoir-être” allows oneself to consider the patient as his or her own norm. The whole analysis of the diagnostical process (between intuition and inference) and the “constructions” of the various theoretical resorts leading to practice are thus put to work. We will state how the everyday life of clinical psychiatry borrows more, sometimes without knowing it, from phenomenological psychiatry than from neurosciences or from the tools of clinical standardisation. Then, we would like to look into the possibility that this psychiatry inspired by philosophy might contribute to the dialogue between this medicine known as personalized or precision medicine (use of big data to come) as renewal of the Evidence-Based Medicine and, on the other side, the medicine of the person (cf. francophone observatory of the medicine of the person), which links with the Values Based Medicine we will examine.
