Interpersonale theory

Sullivan used the term framework of modern physics (field theory) for the psychiatry: Human behavior understood he no more than isolated individual events, but than succession about processes, which result from the interaction of different forces within a sphere of activity.

The design philosophy is located in the center of Sullivans teachings. The personality becoming is explained completely from the interhuman (interpersonalen) relationship: The personality develops due to "„relatively durable samples of always recurring interpersonaler situations, which mark the human life "“. For the coinage of the individual the cultural factors are to be considered also after Sullivan. Although humans depend on innate biological factors, the important differences in the human personality are specified primarily by individual interpersonalen experiences. Here frappante agreements with the psychoanalytischen object relations theory show up and selfpsychology beside the great importance of the interpersonalen experience during the early childhood, referred it to the importance of the youth time for correcting experiences. Sullivan assigned the role of a participating observer to the therapist.

Sullivan recorded its theory in its most important book The interpersonnel Theory OF Psychiatry, which 1953 were published posthum and 1980 on German under the title the interpersonale theory of the psychiatry in the S. Fischer publishing house, Frankfurt A.M. appeared.
