title: [Hermeneutic psychopathology of psychoses: scientific basis, concepts, and clinical aspects].
abstract: Besides biological psychiatry and its neurobiological field, the psychotic patient's subjectivity and his changed relations to himself and others can be isolated as a field of hermeneutic-psychopathological research. After addressing methodological problems and various approaches of hermeneutic psychopathology (transcendental-phenomenological analysis, existence analysis), the logical-analytic approach in hermeneutic psychopathology as elaborated by Müller-Suur is discussed as a way of investigating psychotic experiences and their inherent structures of meaning.Finally, the clinical relevance of hermeneutic psychopathology is examined.
