Madness As An Escape
Keywords:
Existential psychopathology, escape, madness. In an attempt to understand the inner worlds of people with mental problems, we inevitably have to search for a comprehensible language which can help us to describe what kinds of things happen in a person’s mind.Abstract
It is proposed for consideration that madness is an escape. Based on the ideas of L. Binswanger’s existential analysis, psychopathology is seen as a specific way of life. The factors that induce and control ‘escape’ are analyzed. I consider the conditions of human life, which may cause a person ‘to escape into madness’ as a way out of intolerable circumstances.
