Madness And Modernism
"A stunning revelation of the eerie likeness between schizophrenic insanity and the sensibility of modern art, literature, and thought, Madness and Modernism presents a vivid and highly original portrait of the world of the madman, along with a provocative commentary on modernist and postmodernist culture. Sass, a clinical psychologist, explores the bizarre experiences of schizophrenia (and related conditions) through a comparison with the works of various artists and writers, including Franz Kafka, Paul Valery, Samuel Beckett, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Giorgio de Chirico, and Marcel Duchamp, and by considering the ideas of philosophers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, William James, Martin Heidegger...
The Paradoxes of Delusion
Insanity—in clinical practice as in the popular imagination—is seen as a state of believing things that are not true and perceiving things that do not exist. Most schizophrenics, however, do not act as if they mistake their delusions for reality. In a work of uncommon insight and empathy, Louis A. Sass shatters conventional thinking about insanity by juxtaposing the narratives of delusional schizophrenics with the philosophical writings of Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Situating Phenomenological Psychopathology: Subjective Experience Within the World
vThe discipline of phenomenological psychopathology has historically focused on elucidating the ways in which persons with psychiatric illnesses experience themselves and the world. Early pioneers in this field were aware of the impact of uncontrollable life events on the onset and course of severe illness, such as Jaspers’ recognition that environmental events may stimulate or enhance certain “innate potentialities” for the development of a disorder. Furthermore, the role of environment and life events in the development and onset of psychiatric illness has been well-documented. For example, there is a clear relationship between the development of psychotic symptoms and life stressors including adverse childhood events, urban living, and migration. However, relatively little attention (with some notable exceptions) has been devoted to exploring the features of those experienced worlds and how they may impact the trajectory of severe illnesses such as schizophrenia, depression, and personality disorders.
Other Worlds: the Examination of Anomalous World Experience (EAWE)
The Examination of Anomalous World Experience (EAWE) is a new, semi-structured interview designed to explore unusual experiences of the lived world, especially those that tend to be associated with the schizophrenia spectrum. It focuses on six basic domains of world experience: Space and objects, Time and events, Other persons, Language, Atmosphere, and Existential orientation. The EAWE may be used independently or alongside the Examination of Anomalous Self-Experience (EASE) for a more comprehensive assessment of transformation of both self and world in clinical and research contexts. Individual domains may also be used by investigators who wish to focus on a particular aspect of world-expe...
