Abstract		The author presents the phenomenological approach to a deeper understanding of the acute mental distress and a more efficient help. First, she describes the historical development of phenomenological ideas and mentions a few key authors. Next, she explains the phenomenological views on the significance, place and value of immediate experiential communication among people, which the author offers as an instrument in the process of learning about the person in mental distress. Some dimensions of phenomenological research are illustrated by way of the case of typical phenomena at depression, mania and schizophrenia, and the article is concluded with a list of possibilities offered by the phenomenological view.
