Under this title in the "Medical Review" (No. 8, 1922) is a translation from a manuscript of an article by Kronfeld, a representative of the new, young psychological or phenomenological school of psychiatrists in Germany (as opposed to the purely clinical-nosological direction of the Kgerelin school). Kronfeld points out that through all modern psychotherapeutic schools, beginning with Dubois and ending with Alford Adler, runs through one basic idea, that the painful phenomena in functional neuroses are the external expression of a certain warehouse of character and form of reaction. Symptoms are deduced genetically from the psychoreactive and psychogenic development of the psychophysical organization.
