Abstract
When Léon Chertok says that we are ignorant of the nature of the therapeutic process,2 he tells the sad truth about the real situation in psychiatry, this delicate and thus sophisticated and controversial field of human care.
Every science deserves a name as pure and clear as the concepts the science operates with.…1 Ludwig Binswanger

Vadim Liapunov tells us of the special difficulty of this Russian word ‘postupok’. As far as we know he would use the word ‘act’ but with the meaning of ‘individual responsible act.’ To avoid such a complex construction, and partially because ‘deed’ implies just what Dr. Liapunov means, we operate here with ‘Deed’ as a special term, surely devoid of its pompous tone.
See Roberts, Poetics, Hermeneutics, Dialogics… — Rethinking Bakhtin (Evanston: 1989), p. 121
“Only from within my act itself […] is there any access to the Event of existence.” Roberts, Roberts, Poetics, Hermeneutics, Dialogics… — Rethinking Bakhtin (Evanston: 1989), p. 119.
Bakhtin believes no man is identical to oneself, for man is to transcend itself in the act of a Deed. But we mean here to Stand equal to oneself, and not be always the same as oneself.
“We must not fix attention upon the contents of the false ideas.… On the contrary, we must define the very forms in which the disturbance of mind reveals itself.” G. W. F. Regel, Philosophy of Spirit, par.
Virginia Satir has said something very, very close to this, but unfortunately in too much a psychologized and incidental way in her The New Peoplemaking (Mountain View, CA: Science and Behavior Books, 1988).
This misunderstanding is the very feature of Freudianism.
It sounds strange to us when Viktor Frankl distinguishes between noogenic and psychogenic neuroses.
Vasiliev Borodulin, p. 352.
It seems to be clear that any process of the organism can under certain conditions become compensatory. See Wolfgang Metzger, Psychologie (Darmstadt: 1968) for an example.
See Vasiliev Borodulin, pp. 353 ff.
We use the term ‘mental disorder’ in the sense found in Kant’s Anthropology, par. 51, that is, that of a disorder which cannot be cured as a somatic one.
The “psychological intoxication” in the last days of the Soviet Union and in today’s Russia shows us the disastrous situation in minds. Anatolij Kashpirovskij and his mass-mediated “sessions” made the people and — alas! — some of the specialists understand ju-ju-ing to be psychotherapy and vice versa.
