“…Subsequently, from these images, the client identified a specific person who had physically beaten the client during childhood. Thus, the client’s preexpressive experiencing was communicated to the therapist and resulted in the client disclosing the “latent-reality” of a past traumatic event (Van Werde & Prouty, 2013, p. 328).…”

It is argued that an existential-ontological framework provides a more in-depth understanding of an individual's experiencing of psychosis than the dominant biomedical models of psychopathology. Psychosis experience (PE) exists on a spectrum with "normal" experience instead of being defined as a discrete disease entity; and on the ontological ground of a simultaneous, reciprocal relationship between the organism and environment. First, I discuss the ontological-ontic dimensions of lived experience. I will argue that the ontological issues of Being and the nature of human existence are implicitly present in, and intertwined with, the ontic activities of psychology and psychotherapy. Second, the existential-ontological framework developed by Hersch ( 2015) is utilized to explain six key aspects of human experience that can be applied in, for example, the ontic task of psychotherapy that seeks to understand the lived worlds of persons with PE. While Hersch's systematic approach owes much to Heidegger, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty, I will also discuss these dimensions from the viewpoints of persons with PE together with other perspectives from person-centered, cognitive-behavioral and existential psychotherapies, and from neuropsychiatry.

“…Through a combination of his personal experience and professional history, Dr. Garry Prouty developed Pre‐Therapy (Prouty, 1994; Prouty et al., 2017; Van Werde, in press; Van Werde & Prouty 2013). In his work with long‐term patients in the state mental hospital of Manteno, Illinois (with an average duration of 30 years' admission in a hospital of 10,000 beds), he discovered that people can be called ‘expressive’ even when speaking and behaving in an incomprehensible and bizarre—so‐called ‘psychotic’—way.…”

Three decades of listening to people suffering from psychosis is crystallised in the image of the tree. This narrative about mental health, in general, and psychotic symptomology, in particular, was created for daily therapeutic work in residential psychiatry. It is a person‐centred and strength‐oriented way of looking at the existential impact of psychologically alienating experiences. Although indigenously unique, the author believes the image is universal and can serve many.
