title: [Psychoanalysis in the north-south conflict].
abstract: The limitations and possibilities of psychoanalysis in a public health service are presented and discussed based on a report on the public health system in Nicaragua which has been built up consistently in cooperation with psychoanalysis since the fall of the Somoza regime in 1979. The largely successful experiment of integrating psychoanalytic thought into medical training and medical care in a country of the so-called third world has instigated reflections on the present situation in the Federal Republic of Germany. The hypothesis is discussed as to how conflict avoidance, dominant scientific criteria and the extent of political consciousness have contributed to the lacking cooperation between psychoanalysis and medicine.
