Swiss psychiatrist and Heidegger's closest clinical collaborator, who developed Daseinsanalysis as an alternative to Freudian metapsychology based on phenomenological analysis of patient experience.
Collaborated with Heidegger directly to develop a psychiatry grounded in phenomenology rather than hydraulic-mechanical metaphors — rejecting Freudian drives and the unconscious in favor of analyzing the patient's way of dwelling in their world.
