Over the last several decades, clinicians and researchers have inherited one-sizefits-all diagnostic frameworks (DSM, ICD) and limited interview techniques that have been slow to develop and adapt to their patients’ needs, intersectional identities and experiences. These modes of working have arguably been part of the lack of progress in mental health care and have resulted in less than satisfactory treatment success. In the search for alternative approaches to psychiatry and mental health care, there has been a reignited interest in phenomenological psychopathology: an approach that uses the phenomenological method to highlight the lived experience of the person with mental ill health and invites a person-centered approach to diagnosis and treatment. We believe phenomenological psychopathology may remedy many of the problems we currently encounter in psychiatric healthcare. The notion of a person-centered and more democratic approach to mental healthcare has a strong foothold in contemporary public discourse surrounding mental healthcare. While there is a continued risk of the objectification of patients, phenomenological psychopathology emphasizes their subjectivity and experience. The voice of the patient is first and foremost in our phenomenological understanding.\u003Cbr>However, those who turn to phenomenological psychopathology as an answer to problems in psychiatric healthcare may find a philosophical tradition rooted in the early-mid 20th century that has done little to adapt to modern ideas in psychiatric healthcare and psychiatric research. The Renewing Phenomenological Psychopathology project, funded by the Wellcome Trust and led by Professor Matthew Broome and Professor Giovanni Stanghellini, calls for reflection, revitalization and reconstruction of this discipline, diversifying global scholarship and working with lived experience scholars, so that it can pave new paths in\u003Cbr>This work is licensed under a BY 4.0 International license.

The contributions of the current special issue aim to breathe new life into a vital method in psychopathology and to chart its future trajectory.  \nThis introduction will take the following structure. It will begin with an overview of what phenomenological psychopathology is, both past and present. We will address why phenomenological psychopathology needs renewal, confronting its outdated features. Next, we will sketch an outline of some important ethical considerations to protect the rights of the patient within phenomenological psychopathology. We will then cover the contents of this special issue, which we have divided into two key themes: work that aims to apply phenomenological psychopathology in new ways and work that attempts to restructure the very foundations ofthe discipline.
