[History and prospects of transcultural psychiatry and psychotherapy].

Transcultural psychiatry and psychotherapy gained importance with the presence of immigrants and refugees in contemporary society. Transcultural psychiatry examines the interaction of culture with the symptoms and course of mental disorders. It focuses on communication and knowledge transfer between professionals and patients and reflects cultural limits in the perception and classification of psychiatric diseases. The past, present, and future of transcultural psychiatry were discussed during a symposium held in Berlin at a meeting of the Society for Philosophy and the Psychological Sciences and the German Society for Anthropological Medicine, Psychology, and Psychotherapy.

[Paranoid conspiratory delusion].

Taking paranoid conspiratory delusion as example, it is attempted to describe the connection between structure and content of delusions. Inspired by Freuds interpretation of the case Schreber, the cathexis of socially recognized meanings with subjective interest is described as a matrix of cathexis. Delusion is seen as a "filling" of "cathexis-holes".

[Psychoanalysis and reality].

The consequences of the exclusion demanded by psychoanalysis of the social and political reality from the analytical situation are shown.--Assumption of unconscious infantile conflicts as essential motivating forces of macro- and microscopical processes. --Danger of misinterpretation of concrete patterns of behaviour and experience of the patient. --Development of an unrealistic analytical world in the experiences of the patient, psychoanalytical folie à deux. As a basic condition for the use of important and useful conceptions in psychoanalysis, the consideration of the relation between subjective reflection and objective conditions is demanded.
