[Psychosomatics and depression].
In our opinion psychosomatics are a consideration that ought to be at the basis of all medical reflection and action. Illness declares itself in the various interhuman relations (incl. physician-patient-relation); every category of syndromes (for instance the "psychosomatic-one") can be understood as a certain relation-modus. A multidimensional way of contemplation has to be gone even if the actual situation of the illness and the point of view of the physician put either the somatic-biological, or the psychic or the social aspect in evidence. In this case the visible symptom leads to detect the intra-psychic and interhuman problems and conflicts. If the physician and the patient stay remained on the apparent symptom all diagnostical or therapeutical actions are nothing more than Don Quichotism without success, a disappointing battle against the wind-mill-sails of symptoms.
