The relations between diagnostic and therapeutic practice and the events of everyday life are investigated in a two-fold regard. The first view is directed towards the signification of "psychiatry" and of the psychiatric view-points in the everyday life of society; the second view is the experience of everyday life inside psychiatric institutions. Under both aspects an interest in the development and the both aspects an interest in the development and the process of mental illness is pursued, which is also an interest in correct diagnostic insight and in promoting therapeutic consequence that positively influences the process.
