Abstract The phenomenology was one trend of modern philosophy, which intended to capture phenomena from through real experiences, criticizing natural sciences for their objectivistic attitudes as a product of naïve recognition bias. This article reviewed past influences of the Gestalt theory and the phenomenology on clinical neuropsychology, and attempted to interpret some neuropsychological findings in a phenomenological manner, taking up own experienced cases as materials. While sciences and philosophies are dissolving the domains of human subjectivity and are attributing them to various subterranean factors nowadays, the clinical neuropsychology must reevaluate the thought of the phenomenology and reintroduce that view point.
Keywords phenomonology, neuropsychology, Gestalt, intentionality
