Karl Jaspers' Allgemeine Psychopatologie is a key book in twentieth century thought. He gets together in an interdisciplinary way Medicine, Psychology and Existential Philosophy. Among all their concepts this paper deals with the one of symbol and through it the role of Philosophy as a guide for Psychiatry and, in general terms, for Psychopathology. In nowadays Psychiatry «symbolization» is a more and more key concept under which human subject makes and interpretation of his/her existence. Symbol is a scheme of reality built and rebuilt once and once again through all the experiences of human being. It can be said that because of symbol human being «builds the world». Philosophy can be a help for that construction if appears as a «wish of wisdom» or, instead of that, as a lack if appears as a «theory of everything» to subsume under itself all the experiences of life.Downloads
