Summary

In their contribution to this volume, Zeno Van Duppen and Pascal Sienaert (2021) develop an interesting and original phenomenological account of catatonia, which they take to apply to some but perhaps not all cases. They suggest that an experience of interpersonally or socially directed fear, originating in traumatic events, leads to a partial or complete loss of “intercorporeality” (bodily responsiveness to the movements, expressions, and gestures of others).
