This book provides a critical introduction to Heidegger's impact on
psychiatry and psychology, and has a focus on the application of
his philosophy to psychiatry. This is a complete revision of
Heidegger's existential philosophy in the light of
psychopathological phenomena. Readers will find here a
philosophical inquiry into the problem of mental disorder, which
shows Heidegger's own philosophy in a new light, uncovering both
its strengths and its weak points. The author maps not only
Heidegger's interaction with psychiatric thought, as depicted in
his Zollikon Seminars, but also his influence on Swiss
phenomenological psychiatry. The work treats Heidegger in a
critical way, taking the phenomenon of mental disorder as a
touchstone on which Heidegger's thought is tested. The results of
such a critical examination are important, not only for a better
understanding of psychopathological phenomena, but also for a new
understanding of Heidegger's approach to human existence. This work
treats the phenomenon of mental disorder as a philosophical problem
that reflects the ontological character of human existence.
Heidegger's approach to mental disorder is confronted with the
conceptions of Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari in a novel way. The
book is more than just an historical overview as it highlights the
limits of phenomenological thought in the area of psychiatry and it
shows a possible way of moving beyond them. This is a philosophical
work with an interdisciplinary range. Scholars of philosophy and
those in the growing field of philosophy of psychiatry, as well as
those with an interest in Heidegger Studies will be particularly
interested in this work.

Considering solidarity and mutual aid at the intersection of
political philosophy and biology, made more urgent and prescient by
the COVID-19 crisis, this book is grounded in the work of Catherine
Malabou and takes her theories in creative new directions. To think
about solidarity mutual aid is to think about how we can and do
live together, and how we might do so differently. Mutual aid is,
in Peter Kropotkin's famous formulation, a factor of evolution, but
also a conscious political strategy undertaken by activists in
times of crisis. While this combination of biology and politics has
been a source of controversy, and even embarrassment, recent
developments demand a rethink. The contributions in this volume aim
to renew interest in the idea of mutual aid, and to consider how
biological claims might be incorporated into political projects
without appearing as essentialist constraints. They do so in
dialogue with Catherine Malabou, whose work insists on the
importance of the biological while rejecting any notions of
biological determinism. They thus point to the necessity of
solidarity and mutual aid for understanding our social life, while
releasing them from the biological and symbolic chains in which
they often appear.
