The article points out the currently progressing integration of psychology, medicine, and ethics. The origins of this process can be discovered in progressing from narrow conceptions of etiology of an illness (medicine) which are related to one factor only, and of human behaviour (psychology) to conceptions of multidimensional man. They can also be discovered in the tendency to make ethics a science by implying from the knowledge of human nature a justification for norms of human behaviour. The concept of mental health is a symbol of the integration of these disciplines. A model of psychoanalytical ethics, based on the primary value of the mental health, has been used by the author in order to show some coincidence of moral values and scientific description of laws governing the mental development of man.
