The field of psychiatry has long struggled with developing models
of practice; most underemphasize the interpersonal aspects of
clinical practice. This essay is unique in putting
intersubjectivity front and center. It is an attempt to provide a
clinical method to re-establish the fragile dialogue of the soul
with oneself and with others. Throughout, the book builds on the
assumption that to be human means to be in dialogue. It uses
dialogue as a unitary concept to address three essential issues for
clinical practice: 'What is a human being?', 'What is mental
pathology'?, and 'What is care?'. To be human - it is argued -
means to be in dialogue with oneself and with other persons. Thus,
mental pathology is the interruption of this dialogue - both of the
person with the alterity that inhabits them, and with the alterity
incarnated in other persons. Therefore, therapy is a dialogue with
a method whose aim is to re-enact one's interrupted dialogue with
alterity. Lost in Dialogue provides a method to approximate the
Other, to understand its experiences, actions, and in general,
understand the world in which it lives.
