| Abstract |
In his classic essay "The phenomenological approach to psychopathology", Karl Jaspers defended the irreducible reality of the "subjective" mental symptoms and stressed the pivotal role of empathy in their diagnostic assessment. However, Jaspers' account of the epistemological role of empathy in psychopathological diagnosis was far from clear: whereas at several places Jaspers claimed that empathy provides a direct access to patients' abnormal mental experiences, at other places he stressed that it did so only indirectly, through a whole battery of their observable clinical indicators. The aim of this paper is to reassess Jaspers' account of the epistemological role of empathy in psychopathological diagnosis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 16. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 May 2014.
All research outputs
#2,305,098
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Philosophy, Ethics, and Humanities in Medicine
#58
of 234 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,977
of 249,575 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Philosophy, Ethics, and Humanities in Medicine
#3
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 234 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 249,575 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
