ABSTRACT

The more the prestige of biological psychiatry increases, the more Freud, for one, is charged with having been the inventor of possibly exciting fictions which belong much more in the domain of the arts and belles-lettres than in that of a scientific psychology. In view of all the many schools of depth psychology, let alone psychology at large, it might in this sense suggest itself to take into account as many theoretical orientations and practical approaches as possible in order to assemble from each what shows itself to be useful and convincing and in this way to correct the onesidednesses of any single orientation. Psychology is the discipline of interiority. The movement of psychological thought can only be that of a continuous absolute-negative interiorization into itself deeper into the position that is one’s starting point.
