Hermeneutical phenomenology as put forward by Paul Ricoeur is subject to analysis, mainly when it comes to its heideggerian roots and the notion of the world of text. The therapist is therefore confronted with two problems: moving away from the dialogue model and refusal of hermeneutics to accept a psychology of the subject. The textual paradigm is then compared with human action thus encompassing a response to the problem posed by explanation versus understanding. The authors contributions are compared against Jerome Bruners cultural psychology and psychotherapy, namely against existential-phenomenological approaches.
