Psychosis as a Dialectic of Aha- and Anti-Aha-Experiences

摘要

In this article, I offer my first-person perspective on psychosis. To help clarify the devastating impact psychosis can have, I use notes I took during my psychotic episodes and combine them with my training as a philosopher. I describe psychosis as a dialectical process of aha- and anti-aha-experiences that destabilizes and completely undermines a personal framework.
