Abstract

In this article I deal with the epistemological comments of Greiner (2019) and Burda (2019). Greiner differentiates between «Wissen» and «Erkenntnis» with reference to Wallner. This corresponds to my view of reflection on psychotherapeutic practice. «Erkenntnis» is gained by means of this reflection. With regard to Burda’s concept of self-differentiation, which is more concerned with dissolution than with the formation of identity, the question arises, how this concept can be applied to psychotherapeutic practice.
