SANTIAGO, Anielli  y  HOLANDA, Adriano Furtado. Phenomenology of depression: a review of brazilian academic production. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.1, pp.38-50. ISSN 1809-6867.

The objective of this work is to present a panorama of the national researches about depression in phenomenological perspective. We conducted a research on the virtual and opened databases, and at the end of the search, were selected and analyzed twenty-one articles in the period 1981-2013. It was found that the subject is little explored in relation to the phenomenological approach, although it is traditional on the study of psychopathological phenomena. Moreover, classic authors from Phenomenology are rared reported in the studies. Both theoretical and empirical researches bring a diversity of topics in relation to the disorder, especially depression in elderly. We suggest that new researches and theoretical reflections may be realize in order to deal with the high incidence of this problem in general population.
