Atmospheric Landscapes - Felt Spaces and Clinical Configurations

This book explores the philosophical concept of atmospheres, rooted in phenomenology and aesthetics, and its application to psychotherapy and psychiatry in clinical encounters, where felt spaces and atmospheric dynamics can affect the clinical process profoundly. Expanding on the authors' previous work, this volume features contributions from diverse voices, offering insights into the interplay between subjectivity, spatial dynamics, and therapeutic environments. Topics include the atmospheric conditions underlying psychopathological forms and the epistemological shifts required to navigate varied theoretical and clinical perspectives. This book is designed for psychotherapists, psychiatrists, and scholars in phenomenology, aesthetics, and clinical psychology. It is an essential resource for professionals seeking to understand the affective and spatial dimensions of therapy and the role of atmospheres in practical mental health care.
