This article aims to analyze the ethical aspect of the phenomenology of psychoses established by Ludwig Binswanger’s psychiatric Daseinsanalyse, based on the way Merleau-Ponty conceives the experience of others as intercorporeity. Initially, the relationship between psychiatry and phenomenology is presented, considering Binswanger’s perspective on the problem of scientific objectivity in the clinical field and his quest to develop an approach based on intersubjectivity. Finally, we tried to make some notes about the possible meaning of the approximation between phenomenology and psychiatry, in order to make possible a phenomenology of psychoses that is constituted by the recognition of alterity.
