Summary
In the previous chapter, I proposed an enactive account of psychiatric disorders that understands them as structurally disturbed patterns of sense-making. We looked at what characterises such disordered patterns: the inaptness of the sense-making in light of its context, the rigidity of both the interactions with the world and the existential stance, and the experience of suffering.
