| Summary: | Existence is holistic being, i.e. embodied being in the world. Existence in EA is described by the existential fundamental motivations. They contain the psychody¬namic basis which may provoke psychic disorders in the body. Drawing on clinical experience and derived from numerous theories of psychosomatics and theories of resource¬enhancement, an anthropological picture and an etiological understand¬ing of psychosomatic diseases is developed, which also offers a subjectively felt link between the body and psyche. Hence a psychosomatic disorder is characterized mainly by a blockage of the 2nd and 3rd fundamental motivations combined with an exaggerated reaction of the 1st and 4th FMs, thus resulting in the typical func¬tional activism. Psychopathologically, one may start out with a simultaneous concurrent disorder, mutually inhibiting and therefore "masked" depression and hysteria. The personal¬spiritual process of the appropriation of information is character-ized by reduced reception of "impression" and development of "position¬taking". — A case study exemplifies the description of this existential analytical approach to psychosomatics. |
