Abstract

This commentary on Markus Erismann’s essay titled «Der Wissenschaftsbegriff der Psychotherapiewissenschaft» is designed as a supplement to the argumentation which intends to show what psychotherapy science designed in a scientific-hermeneutic manner could potentially contribute to the academic status of psychotherapy. Building on the theoretical discussion and methodological explanations, we demonstrate using a sample model analysis how this innovative fundamental research practice works, which can help advance psychotherapy into a genuine individual science.
