Based on a case study, it is intended to present a new daseinsanalytic understanding of psychosomatic symptoms. It assumes that people with somatoform disorders are largely alienated from their body and therefore able to delegate their psychological problems to it. As a result, they gain a psychological relief from these existential basic experiences to which they are particularly sensitive, however without being able to deal with them on a psychological level. In this way, Daseinsanalysis expands the understanding of psycho-analysis that is too exclusively oriented to the infantile past (Freud’s “Reminiscences“). Full article

The epistemic processes leading to a practically viable “knowledge” in psychopathology are traced back from the transcendental-philosophical premises and antecedents through various epistemic steps to the empirical recognition and systematisation into a scientific theory. Psychopathology should serve empirical procedures in iagnostics, epidemiology, etiological conditions. However, it should also produce viable advices for the interpersonal therapeutic transaction. This is illustrated by an example of a catatonic syndrome. Full article

I posit that there is not simply just one limit but several different limits of under-standing, and that the constitutive reference between understanding and not understand-ing is different in each case. Distinguishing between the various types of this reference might help us to better understand the fundamental issue as to why, when we are seeking to understand, we are also always confronted with the limits of understanding. I propose that we distinguish four forms in which the otherness of meaning is encountered in a different manner and with differing radicality in each case. Full article

Our symposium deals with “Understanding and Its Limits”. I look upon this as an exhortation not to claim the unlimited nature of understanding, not to focus so much on the totality of contexts and meanings of the human condition, but rather to prompt one to engage in reflection where understanding may not be possible, where a limit of nderstanding seems to have been reached and yet wanting to understand may by no means have ceased.

Psychiatry has always been characterised by highly heterogeneous theoretical concepts regarding the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders, but also concerning the appropriate scientific methods to be applied. A central issue is the question whether mental phenomena should preferably be explained (as in natural sciences), understood or interpreted (as in «Geisteswissenschaften») or described (with as few theoretical presuppositions as possible). This paper illustrates the main historical and actual arguments in this debate. The first conclusion is that no clear separation line exists between these three methods and that such a separation is not at all necessary for clinical or research purposes. What is needed, however, is a balanced combination of approaches, depending on the clinical or scientific questions to be answered. The second conclusion suggests a future strengthening of the role of psychopathology, a scientific field that clearly reaches beyond the reliable description of symptoms. Full article

Until recently gait has been considered as an automated motor activity independent from cognitive function. However, recent arguments suggest a strong link between gait and cognition, in particular in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. Executive functions seem to play a central role in these gait disor-ders due to deficits in cognition. The purpose of this article is to discuss the relationship between gait and cognition and the specific impact of executive function by reviewing the type of gait disorders observed in some frequent neurodegenerative and non degenerative disorders mainly affecting cognitive function. The potential contribution of some rehabili-tation techniques and pharmacological treatments in improving gait disorders related to impaired cognitive function is discussed. The clinical implications of the relationship be-tween gait and cognition are that gait assessment should be considered as a part of the routine assessment of cognitive function and conversely, cognitive function and specifi-cally executive function should be assessed in patients with gait disorders.
