title: [Functional diagnosis as a principle of therapy and rehabilitation--from nosological to comprehensive psychiatric diagnosis].
abstract: The current predominantly one-side orientation on nosological and syndromatological diagnosis as a basis for one-side somato-therapy in psychiatric practice is a result of the biological basic assumptions of medicine arising from the consideration of illness as an organismic phenomenon. No conclusions regarding suitable forms of psychotherapy or sociotherapy can be derived from a nosological diagnosis. The functional diagnosis method developed in the Soviet Union and presented here is a necessary enlargement of the diagnostic approach, provides the basis required for selecting appropriate forms of psychotherapy and sociotherapy and is in line with illness model customarily used in human medicine.
