The Readiness is all ? Closure Remarks on the Psychotic Anticipatory Experience of Time and Space

In this roundup paper we give an overview of the research we have done so far regarding the idea of anticipation and psychotic experience. Starting off from the status quaestionis in psychiatry, psychotherapy and philosophy regarding the psychotic experience as a disorder of reality we bring together three different viewpoints: the objectivist, the subjectivist and the existentialist. We illustrate how all three perspectives are unable to provide with a definite description of what psychosis really is, let alone prove fruitful for a causal model towards explaining psychosis. We show how the anticipatory model we have worked out (boundary, context, organisation, hierarchy) brings all three fields of enquiry together in a synergetic model with clinical, ethical and theoretical benefits.
