[Psychotherapeutic methods beyond the scope of individual schools of psychotherapy]

The author discusses four basic theoretical methodological approaches elaborated by H. Seiffert and R. Lay which were recommended by R. Vogt and in particular P. Hahn for medicine and psychology. The author explains also primary diagnostic methods used in psychotherapy. Due to the aspect of medical anthropology these basic methods are considered aspects of genetic epidemiology and at the same time as theoretical guidelines for the diagnosis and therapy of anthropological dimensions of diseases. Traditional combination of all diagnostic methods from the "clinical aspect" is then substituted by specific differentiation at the point of intersection of objective and subjective facts concerning the disease.
