Als Psychiater, Psychotherapeut und Schuler Max Wertheimers entwickelte Erwin Levy bedeutende, aber bisher kaum rezipierte Konzepte zur Organisation des Denkens im Rahmen von Psychosen.
Various efforts have been made to understand and to explain the symptoms of schizophrenia. However, gestalt theoretical works concerning this mental disorder are not prominent. In this volume the author portrays the works of gestalt theorist Erwin Levy, explains them with regard to his biography and analyses their reception history and current relevance. Levy’s concepts are marked by his pursuit to illuminate the meaning in the organisation of thinking processes in psychotic crises. As a psychiatrist, psychotherapist and scholar of Max Wertheimer he developed a widely suppressed and forgotten, yet still a fertile gestalt theory of schizophrenia.
