[Boundaries of medicine: throughts on the role of the orienting behavior in the therapist-patient relationship].
The author shows that from the organismic of point of view the question for the limitations of the medical discipline has to be transformed into a question for the limitations of the doctor himself. The concept of organismic self-reference is put into relation to the contents of narcissitic logic. In this context the symptomatology of depression is elaborated upon in a paradigmatic way. Using a model of a systemtheoretical communication theory (orienting-behavior) the basic hypothesis of this article is discussed.
