Lehrbuch der Psychodynamik
The psychodynamic perspective of Stavros Mentzos is a clear alternative to the common classification according to ICD-10. Emotional conflicts and their specific processing modes play a central role in psychiatric disorders such as phobias, compulsions, depression, addictions, personality disorders or psychoses. The basic assumption is that psychological symptoms do not reflect deficits, but rather form their own dynamic entity with their own respective functions. For example, self-injuring behavior such as cutting provides the patients with an
Catatonia
Catatonia is a syndrome of motor dysregulation (mutism, peculiar postures, repetitive speech, negativism and imitative movements), and is found in as many as ten per cent of acutely ill psychiatric inpatients. Although its classification has been controversial, the identification of catatonia is not difficult, but it is often missed, leading to the false notion that the syndrome is rare.

Multiaxial classification of child and adolescent psychiatric disorder
Diagnosis within psychiatry involves the consideration of a number of different features of mental state.

The term originated from Greek mythology, where a young man named Narcissus fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water. Narcissism or pathological self-absorption was first identified as a disorder in 1898 by Havelock Ellis and featured in subsequent psychological models, e.g. in Freud's On Narcissism (1914).

Many recent developments are described in this book, as reviews or as original articles. This bo
