Two recent contributions to the psychopathology of psychosis are reviewed. They point to a divergence in psychopathology, between a symptom-based broadly empirical approach on the one hand, and a phenomenological approach with roots more in continental philosophy on the other. A discussion of delusions and of understandability illustrates how these two strands in psychopathology differ.
