[The self-regulation process, adjustment and defense. Interdisciplinary study].
The study of the processes of self-regulation and defense may serve as an example illustrating the interdisciplinary research in psychiatry. Belying on the topography of mental disturbance as described by the systemal method, this study can profit from the findings of animal ethology and oceanographyt++ and thus conceive of the diversity and integration of the defense mechanisms of living systems beloging to different levels in the hierarchy of species. These insights may contribute to a refinement of the analysis of the human defense mechanisms met in psychiatry. As an example of this an analysis of phobic avoidance is related.
