title: [The significance of structural dynamics for a theory of neurosis and personality disorders].
abstract: Following the psychopathological approach of Janzarik (structural dynamics), this paper develops a two-dimensional theory for the understanding of neuroses and personality disorders. The dynamic dimension serves to describe the symptomatology between the two poles of anxiety and depression. The structural dimension differs according to the maturity of the personal identity between mature neurotic personality organization on the one hand and severe personality disorder on the other.
