Historical Article[The interdisciplinary approach to the history of psychiatry].
The historical approach is applied ever often to investigate various problems of medicine. The specificity of methodological approach to the history of psychiatry is related with the necessity to implement the historic methods of study not only medicine but other disciplines (non-medical ones included) and the needs of society the progress of medicine depended. ⋯ A good example of such a system is synergetics which provide the possibility to evaluate different characteristics and patterns of non-linear historical process. The main target of this approach is to reveal the unobvious patterns, to determine the interdependent algorithms and tendencies escaping from the attention of disciplinary-specific approach to the history of medicine.
