Leid-Erleben

Psychiatrist Professor Dr Friedel M. Reischies offers new insights into suffering: How does the "negative" get into the brain? Can it be beneficial for the adaptation of the individual to the dangerous environment? How is it possible that even a simple living being not only shows reflexes after an injury, but also experiences suffering? The author of the textbook "General Psychopathology" reflects here specifically on the basis of emotion and experience. In a dynamic, generally understandable conversational form, the essay informs those interested inside and outside the psychotherapeutic professional world.
