[The "inter" and the role (conditional analysis of endogenous psychoses)].

The relations of the individual to others and to the family are understood by the concepts "intersubjective" and "interfamiliar". This "inter" is always the origin of the relations of subjects. The "inter" is a reality which is of an atmospheric pneumatic nature respectively. Its creative power and its primateship for the word is clarified by a selection of examples from oriental and occidental cultures. On the other hand, the relations of the individual is determined by norms, in which the "objektive Geist" (Hegel) of a time is manifested. The individual is in this relation first of all a carrier of roles. A conditional analysis of psychotic disturbances has to proceed from a conception that the individual's psyche in both spheres, is not a "tabula rasa" (Locke), but always already conveys a selection of that which has been offered in the situation (Leibniz). Out of this result constellations of a conditional nature for the development of endogenous psychoses, exhibiting themselves in the Inter-shere and Role-sphere. These can only develop where a coherence of specific personality-structures with specific situations are present. What makes such situations pathogenic, is all a specific inference of meaning from peristatic precipitations. It is this that makes a situation into what it actually is for a certain type.
