Abstract

The historical development of psychodynamic psychiatry and its core principles were focussed on in the perspective of current research, especially of neuroscientific research.The three-dimensional model of psychodynamic and neuro-psychodynamic psychiatry and spatiotemporal psychopathology are described and applied to depression and schizophrenia as clinical examples underlining the practical relevance of the neuro-psychodynamic approach for psychiatric treatment and psychotherapy.Operationalized psychodynamic diagnostics (OPD) is discussed as an "instrument to transfer psychodynamic constructs into neuroscience".
