ABSTRACT
We have repeatedly spoken of a simultaneous somatotherapy and psychotherapy, and accordingly, if you will, of a two-dimensional therapy on the basis of a somatogenic and psychogenic two-dimensional etiology. In conclusion we would like to show how we must follow personal being, and therefore also the sick person, beyond the two dimensions of the somatic and the psychological into a third dimension, that of the spiritual. For, in addition to the somatic and the psychological dimensions, the spiritual is its own dimension. But not only this, it is in fact the authentic dimension of being human, something that psychologism does not wish to acknowledge (while spiritualism commits the error of treating the spiritual dimension as the only dimension of being human). Neuroses can take root in this dimension as well-in such cases we speak of noogenic (arising from the spiritual) neuroses; for the person standing under the tension of a conflicted conscience, or under the pressure of a spiritual problem, or in the midst of an existential crisis, can also become neurotically ill.
