[The two languages of psychiatry (author's transl)]
Abstract:
Psychiatrists still use two languages, that of the "Geisteswissenschaften" (humanities) and that of the sciences. This has often led to a disregard of the differences between understanding and explanation, to a "Sprachverwirrung" (linguistic confusion), or to taking either understanding or explanation as absolute which leads to the formation of closed, ideology-like systems. As a result of the continued necessity for methodological pluralism, it is precisely by observing methodological limitations, that we have the current possibilities for bringing the "Geisteswissenschaften" (humanities) and the sciences, psychology and physiology closer to each other.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
