This volume explores the interrelations between emotions, embodiment, and vulnerability through a phenomenological perspective. Scholars of philosophy, psychology, and psychiatry investigate how the fragilities of embodied existence shape emotions, how these vulnerabilities become visible in psychopathological conditions, and how they figure in therapeutic contexts. A central theme is that emotions can be understood as experiences lived through and enacted - not merely endured - showing them as fundamental to human selfhood and agency. Integrating phenomenological analyses with clinical insights, the text illuminates fluid boundaries between ordinary and pathological emotional experience. Across twenty-one chapters contributed by established researchers, this book builds a framework for understanding how emotions reveal and modulate human vulnerability.
