The notion of subjectivity in psychopathology.
The aim of this essay is to show that a dialectically shaped theory of subjectivity is necessary for psychopathology. After introductory remarks about the tasks of psychopathology in general a critique of the so-called "anthropological psychiatry" leads to the finding that this theoretical framework is not sufficient to offer psychopathology a philosophical orientation in accord with the needs of our time. By analyzing the meaning of psychopathology the special dialectics involved are demonstrated, and a concept of subjectivity is elaborated using proposals by the Czech philosopher Milan Prucha.
