[The tasks of psychiatry: the psychiatric experience].

This work pretends to show the necessity of psychiatry of knowing its grounds as medical knowledge in order to do justice to its history and to the concepts that have been traditionally used in the west way of thinking. By the idea of experience it is tried to search in psychopathology the motives of the transformation of psychiatry under the operative concept of 'life world'. The psychiatry tasks shall be those in connection with the development and appropriation of the ontological and methodological implications that the concept of 'life world' involves, always across a psychopathological theory.
