This article constitutes an attempt to articulate productive crossovers between some of the philosophical groundings and theoretical underpinnings on which various schools of phenomenology are based and areas within the practice and theory of psychoanalysis that chime with these. It works ultimately towards establishing a phenomenologico-existential psychoanalysis from these researches, out of which key concepts of illness, structure, situation, and periodicity are excavated; and into which they are incorporated.
