Abstract

In this article, we draw upon the works of Jean-Luc Marion and Claude Romano to offer a phenomenological hermeneutic of clinical forensics. We introduce Marion's description of givenness and the event, and apply these ideas to clinical forensics. First, we describe Romano's conceptualization of the transformative effect of the event, relative to the "openness" of the participants to this encounter. Second, we contextualize different possibilities of therapy relative to the openness and closedness of the therapist and patient.
