["Systemic psychiatry"--recognition and therapeutic use?].
In this paper the question is discussed, whether the use of systems theory in psychiatry can improve the success of psychiatric intervention as being proclaimed by systemic therapists. On the contrary: Taking into account the logical conditions to be considered when referring the model of self-organizing systems from biological to social and cognitive systems, one must come to the conclusion, that systemic therapy implicates the improbability of successful intervention.
