Husserl´s and Heidegger´s possible contributions to clinical phenomenology

This article aims to describe the possible contributions of Edmund Husserl´s and Martin Heidegger´s philosophies to the development of a phenomenological clinic. It recognizes that Husserl, with his Phenomenological Psychology, inaugurates a psychology of subjective, which may serve as basis to the phenomenological clinic. It discusses the contributions and possible limitations of Ludwig Binswanger´s and Medard Boss’s clinical proposals, which aim to be funded on Heidegger´s Analytic of the Dasein. It suggests Merleau-Ponty´s existential phenomenology, which retakes last Husserl’s thought having as conducting wire the concept of Lebenswelt, as a fecund way to the phenomenological clinic.
