To apprehend the integrality of the psycho-pathological problems of the human being, the use of a paradigm is necessary. The epistemological paradigm, based on the study of the principles which govern any dynamic system, seems very useful. Applied to the human being, it raises questions of energy, semantics, organization of functions, environments, and it can lead to a better comprehension of the psychism. In psycho-pathology, this paradigm puts in evidence the innumerable interrelations which intervene at all the levels to create disturbances in the functions, inducing troubles of communications with the consciousness resulting in diminution or non-function of the latter, type psychosis, or in its activation, type neurosis.
