title: [Emotional development - what determines it - what disturbs it?].
abstract: By asking for the determining factors in developmental psychology we exemplify the vicissitudes of scientific perspectives during the past century, in which the factors viewed as primarily responsible (for development) changed several times - depending on the "zeitgeist". In actual fact one must assume a continuous interaction of genetics, externally caused alterations and milieu effects. To this science can only contribute by means of statistical probability, which in a single case would have to be translated into no more than a statement of risks and chances.
