The extreme attention that Eugène Minkowski turns to his clinical cases induces him, "coming back to things themselves", to choose a phenomenological method for investigating mental disorders. The analysis of his patients’ "actual experiences" discloses then the most important changes concerning temporality, spatiality and corporality in psychosis, and paves the way for existential analysis and the structural conceptions of personnality.
