The uncanny of the illness experience : can phenomenology help?
| Resumo: | The illness experience encompasses not only several changes in bodily processes but also the very feeling of becoming ill. This seemingly non-scientific aspect of being sick is characterized by forms of uncanny body experiences and an unhomelike being-in-the-world. Both include disconcerting phenomena, feelings of fear, restlessness, and inexplicability. In this paper we discuss some contributions aiming to understand the illness experience, focusing on the concept of the uncanny. This life event brings changes in the familiarity of our world, revelation of what previously was and should have remained hidden, loss of control, and the certainty of mortality. The experience of uncanniness is here conceptualized as a psychopathological phenomenon that should be regarded as a general symptom of diseases and should be identified and approached. We discuss the impact of these considerations on medical practice, focusing on the role of physicians and ultimately on the purpose of medicine. |
