[The anosognostic psychosyndrome. Studies and reflections on a case of acoustic agnosia].
We analyse structure and dynamics of anosognostic behavior by means of a case with auditory agnosia for both linguistic and non-linguistic material. First we investigate on the observational level the structural interweaving of conditions. Second we make an attempt of a structural dynamic analysis with inclusion of both neurophysiological and psychodynamic aspects within a frame which is orientated towards system theories. By doing this, the anosognostic syndrome which is describable in a phenomenalistic sense as a disturbance of body-scheme, neuropsychologically as a neglect-or extinction-syndrome and psychodynamically as regressive Ego dissolution, appears as disintegration of the transactional coherence between specific and non-specific functional systems. At the time also the relations to the structure of focal brain syndromes and organic psychoses are dealt with.
