We begin this new year with new projects, the main one being the expansion of the journal. From this issue, the Phenomenological Studies will happen every four months, with more space for the dissemination of the Phenomenology in our country.

In this first issue, we began with a set of four researches: The Experience of the First Session of Hemodialysis: A Phenomenological Investigation, sought to understand the significance of undergoing urgent Hemodialysis from the experience of the Chronic Patient. Men who Experiences Infertility: Clients of "Stork Technological" sought to understand the experience of infertile men, who participate in a service of Assisted Reproduction. The manuscript, From the kidney's paralisation to the life's movement: the perceptions patients of hemodialysis, works on the perceptions of patients with Chronic Renal Disease from their process of illness and treatment. Next, the article understanding Self-reports on Suicide Based on Martin Heidegger's Existential Analytic worked with the testimony of twenty collaborators to relate suicide to the frustration of the possibilities of being-in-the-world and the suffering correlated to an unrealized existence .

Next, we present two reviews of literature: In search of a good way of applying sport psychology: contributions of gestalt-therapy, sought to present the psychology of sports under a new approach; And, Knowledge and Practices of Therapeutic Accompaniment with children: A literature review, made a bibliographical review based on the Brazilian scientific productions of the last 14 years (2001-2015).

Following, we have four theoretical studies. Heidegger: searching for sense for the human existence, addresses some of the main themes of Martin Heidegger's existential phenomenology, with the concept of existence as the guiding thread. The Process of listening in Harm reduction: Rogers and Kierkegaard Contributions, collected texts on harm reduction practice, and information on the listening process was discussed and reflected from the two thinkers and their possible interlocution. Hermeneutics Philosophical Reflections for Psychologist Practice in Hospital Context aims to reflect on the practice of the psychologist in hospital context considering the hermeneutico-philosophical foundations of health proposed by Hans-Georg Gadamer; Phenomenological Approach of Religiosity: Implications for Psychodiagnostic and Psychological Clinic Praxis, aims to discuss, and to illustrate some contributions of phenomenology with a view to a critical appreciation of the criteria of psychodiagnosis of religious experiences and their possible connection with or distinctions from psychopathological symptoms or clinical conditions.

We conclude this issue with the translation of a classic text by F.J.J.Buytendijk, entitled The Psychological Genesis of the Mother Spirit; and with a Sartre's review of The Imagination.

Good reading to everyone.
