Brief Description of Work: I am a psychiatrist and also a postgraduate in Phenomenological Psychopathology at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Santa Casa de São Paulo. I have a growing interest in Phenomenology and Valuesbased Practice. My field of study so far has been in Religiosity/Spirituality and Mental Health: their impact on clinical decisions, pathological or non-pathological experiences, and patient experience. I believe that Phenomenology and Valuesbased Practice can be two important tools for application in clinical practice.
