title: [Problems in Life-event research from its psychodynamic aspects].
abstract: The present essay gives a survey of theory of the Life-Event-research up to now with special relevance to psychiatric diseases, which was developed by sociology and behaviourism. There is some evidence that the originally epidemiologic orientated approach, which is restricted to relation Life-Event - disease, will now be extended by establishing of a "subjective" and social factor in form of Coping Processes, the Cognitive Models, the interactions are resources of Social Network. But till now there was no possibility for any differentiation between cause and result. This traditional approach, which is restricted to the objectives, covers differences in individual characters and creates arbitrariness in research whereby a wrong praemiss was taken as a basis, namely the postulated homogeneous of characters by which each event will produce the same deleterious effect. In comparison with that a psychodynamic viewpoint favours the "Selbst-Relvanz" of events. By this mean an interpretation of events is senseless if they are not applied to individual character structure and development through which "early" Life Events will be of great account. With the aid of a clinical example it will be demonstrated by a psychodynamic viewpoint how the deleterious effects of specific Life Events are comprehensible by applying them to individual development and object relations. By that there is possibility of calling specific triggering events for the break out of Schizophrenia (beginning/finishing of a "love relation"; a new daily burden) and of associating certain clinical pictures of Schizophrenia to certain macroscopic and microscopic Life Events.
