Organogenesis (psychiatry)
In psychiatry according to Uwe Henrik Peters, organogenesis is the disruption of a psychological structure due to an organic disease on which this structure is based. This represents the organic side of the organodynamic theory of Henri Ey . On the other hand, the reverse process is also possible, namely that of an autonomous damage to organs through more functional psychological disorders. The decisive factor for every form of mental illness is the disorganization that can be detected due to a disturbed psychophysical correlation . The organodynamic theory is definitely related to the theories of developmental history and evolution , cf. also organogenesis in biological terms and the evolution and dissolution theory of John Hughlings Jackson , who in turn had based on the evolution theory of Herbert Spencer . Theories similar to those advocated by Henri Ey were also advocated by Eugen Bleuler and Pierre Janet .
