["You can be more than what you are!" On the way to a holistic concept in psychotherapy]

One can of course tell the story of psychiatry based purely on medicine history, but if one examines it from the point of view of evolution, one discovers a profound meaning in its development. Considering for instance deep psychiatry, one can ascertain that a development had definitely taken place starting from the biopsychological going on to social and finally to spirituell concepts. This draws psychotherapy and pastoral duties closer to one another again and thus cancels the Freudean concept according to which religious need is the expression of neurotic development.
