Purpose: This study focused on understanding the psychological experiences of schizophrenic patients in long-term mental care institutions after a cancer diagnosis. Methods: A total of 7 patients were interviewed several times in a psychiatric hospital ward in eastern Taiwan. Each interview lasted about 60 to 90 minutes. After the interview materials were transcribed verbatim, we applied a phenomenological psychology data analysis procedure entailing 6 steps: data collection, empathic immersion, and identification of meaning units, constituent themes, situated structure, and general structure. Results: The analysis revealed a triple structure of existence: affective and physical being in the world, situated caring acts under threat, and relationships between blocking and reconnecting. Conclusion: The results indicated that humanistic clinical psychology practices are essentially a return to the lifeworld, and an attempt to restore reflexive ground in the vitality of the psychological lives of the patients. |
