[The self system].

Recent findings of infant research suggest that the self may be regarded as a self-regulating system. The "identity self", that is, the totality of self representations, serves as the internal reference system around which all life-historical identity vacillations revolve.

[Forms of organization and means of regulation of the self system].

Using a recently developed self-inventory (Narzissmusinventar) 1277 patients suffering from neurotic and psychosomatic disorders have been examined. By constructing scales of high reliability the items of this new questionnaire could be grouped according to eighteen aspects, which cover modes of organization and regulation of the self, as far as these are available to introspection. Their contents will be described here, and a discussion with regards to some considerations towards a theory of the self is presented.

[The complexity problem and reductionist solutions--critical comments from the psychoanalytic viewpoint].

We refer to the essentials of the complexity of psychosomatic and psychoneurotic phenomena and how to comprehend this complexity. Measurement is called in question as a possibility to describe psychic phenomena. We make a suggestion to preserve the advantages and to overcome the disadvantages (selective awareness, no generalization, no intersubjective validitation) of clinical psychoanalytic research work.
