[Notes on the model "universal genesis of psychoses"--aspects of an unconventional interpretation of mental diseases (author's transl)].
The article describes a temporarily closed model of a uniform interpretation of all endogenous psychosyndromes (universal genesis of psychoses) which, however, is capable of extension and modification. This concept, which was developed in 1964, does not postulate a "unitary psychosis" in the narrow sense of the term. It is based mainly on results obtained in traditional psychiatry and combines individual aspects and opinions which are used by other psychiatrists also who share these opinions although mostly they do not employ them as general principles. To substantiate the author's own position, several old and new problems of the doctrine of psychoses are illuminated from a uniform point of view. In this synopsis biologically relevant aspects are emphasized, especially those of the common pathogenetic fundamentals, the common phases of the disease, as well as the agreements in recording of the syndromes. The final section of the study provides a condensed survey of the essential factors and consequences of the concept, supplying details to supplement this brief review.
