title: [The structural dynamic approach: its psychopathologic origin and application to considerations of personality].
abstract: Concepts based on brain structure and function with a tendency towards elimination of the subject have assumed a position of central importance in modern psychiatry. With respect to structural dynamics, the primary role in relating to others is played by each person's internal world. Psychic structure is a precondition of our intentions and personal identity. In psychopathology the three basic functions autopractice, desactualisation, and activation had been differentiated as contributing to the psyche as a whole. Their application is expanded to an anthropological conceptualisation.
