DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:* Delusions in schizophrenia are commonly approached
  as false beliefs that result from epistemic failures to represent reality
  correctly. This view has been dominant throughout the history of psychiat
 ry\, and continues to inform contemporary research and practice. Phenomeno
 logical accounts\, by contrast\, have suggested that delusions are more ad
 equately understood as pertaining to a different kind of reality experienc
 e. In my talk\, I will discuss the results of a phenomenology study of del
 usional reality experience and its implications for diagnostic\, explanato
 ry and therapeutic approaches of delusions.\n\n*Biography:* Dr Jasper Feya
 erts is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology at Ghent University 
 (Belgium) and an Associate Researcher at the Center for Contextual Psychia
 try at KU Leuven. His current research interests are phenomenological appr
 oaches of psychosis and delusions\, interdisciplinary integration of pheno
 menological research with other research approaches in clinical psychology
  and psychiatry\, and philosophy of psychiatry. For more information on Dr
