The research and the reflections in Phenomenology have known great growth, in the diverse fields of knowledge. We present in this new issue, a small portrait of this diversity, with empirical and theoretical studies, qualitative research philosophical reflections.

In this new issue, we present a set of research with themes ranging from the experience of mothers of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, highlighting their subjective constructions; even humanized health care for transvestites. The subject of spirituality is present in two studies involving Ayahuasca - one of them relating anomalous experiences, and the other discussing the therapeutic itinerary of ritualistic users - and a research on spirituality in Jungian psychotherapists.

Theoretical studies bring a reflection on phenomenological research, highlighting method issues; two texts of phenomenological-existential alignment - one relating humanistic psychology and existential phenomenology; and another rescuing anguish as constitutive of existence and the psychological clinic - a discussion of Erwin Straus's philosophical anthropology, ending with the rescue of an autobiographical account by Viktor Frankl.

We close with the translation of a small but brilliant text by Jan Patočka featuring Heidegger.

We invite the reader to enjoy the reading.
