KAHLMEYER-MERTENS, Roberto S.. Intentionality: necessary structure for a psychology in phenomenological bases.. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.3, pp. 867-882. ISSN 1808-4281.

The article takes the concept of intentionality as theme. We inquired into the position of this concept in the context of a phenomenological psychology. To answer this question, we aim to introduce the concept of intentionality according to Phenomenology, briefly reconstruct its historical genesis in the philosophies of Brentano, Husserl and Heidegger, and indicate the importance of this concept in the so-called Daseinanalyse (Binswangen and Boss). Treated phenomenologically, we understand intentionality as a fundamental feature of a consciousness; we judge it to be sustainable that this structure enables a different interpretation of the psyche that promoted by the traditional reading that reduces consciousness to the subject. Considering the intentionality the structure that allows immediate correlation of consciousness with its phenomena, we should judge Daseinanalyse, understood as phenomenological psychology and psychopathology, phenomenological psychology and psychopathology, has viability only in the space opened by the intentional consciousness.

Keywords : consciousness; intentionality; Daseinanalyse; Heidegger.
