Previous multi-author collections of English language essays in phenomenological psychopathology include Rollo May, Ernest Angel and Henri Ellenberger (1958) Existence: A New Dimension in Psychiatry and Psychology; John Cutting and Michael Shepherd (1986) The Clinical Roots of the Schizophrenia Concept: Translations of Seminal European Contributions; and Matthew Broome, Robert Harland, Gareth Owen and Argyris Stringaris (2013) The Maudsley Reader in Phenomenological Psychiatry. Unlike the Maudsley Reader, which is the only other collection still in print, the Oxford Handbook of Phenomenological Psychopathology is a 98 chapter collection of newly written essays, covering a wide variety of topics.

1. The 23 essays in its first section cover the history of phenomenological philosophy (Husserl to Levinas) and phenomenological psychopathology (Jaspers to Laing).
2. The 7 essays in section two consider the meaning of taking a phenomenological approach and its relation to other approaches.
3. Section three consists of 12 essays on key concepts of phenomenology such as the self, emotion, and various of what Heidegger called the existentialia (essential dimensions of human existence).
4. Section four comprises 15 chapters on descriptive psychopathology, chapters which amongst other things consider the psychopathology of the various existentialia.
5. The 8 chapters of section five look holistically at the different life worlds of persons with different conditions (schizophrenia, mood disorders, hysteria, BPD, addictions, autism, eating disorders).
6. Section six entitled ‘Clinical Psychopathology’ contains 9 essays on different aspects of (mainly) psychotic experience.
7. Finally section 7 contains 13 chapters on the relationship between phenomenological psychopathology and other disciplines from neuroscience to psychoanalysis.
