title: [Comments on the situation cycle of Thure von Uexkülls from the viewpoint of affect psychology].
abstract: The "Situationskreis" represents some of the most important parts of the psychosomatic theory-formation. It describes the relationship between individual and environment as a "cyclic" process of interpretation, which is characterized of an inner tentative action. Uexküll indeed mentions affective aspects in his "Situationskreis", but doesn't apply them consequently. From a psychology of affects and emotions several additional points are possible; first in the meaning of non-verbal moments, then in a differentiation of the constructivistic position, in the assumption of internalization terms, in a radicalisation of the historical statement and in problematizing the demanded method.
