The development of relationship between psychiatric and psychotherapeutic views on mental disorders. The united model or two different (complementary) models?
The article considers the differences between the medical psychiatric and psychotherapeutic approaches to the diagnostics and treatment of mental disorders. The development of relationship between these approaches, having been resulted in different models of interrelatedness of these approaches in different countries, is described (the united model, encompassing the psychiatric and psychotherapeutic approach and the model of two relatively independent approaches). The article put some examples to draw attention to the inconsistences and the difficulties which are arisen from attempts of using different variants of one united model, pretending to encompass both these different approaches. It is offered to consider these approaches as the relatively independent, with each having their own internal logics, but at the same time as the complementary ones, in accordance with the principle of complementarity, formulated by physicist N. Bohr in quantum mechanics for systematization of the irreconcilable data, received in different circumstances of observation, by the observers with different attitudes.
