Abstract
The paper presents the axis II ''relationship'' of the Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis. This instrument makes it possible, to analyz e problematic relationship patterns from two different points of view: From the perspective of the patient and from the perspective of his i nteractional partners, likewise the interviewer. There are characteris tic differences between these perspectives, which can be used for the understanding of the psychodynamics of the patient and for a formulati on of an interpersonal focus for the psychotherapy. We also report on selected results regarding the reliability of the relationship rating and we discuss potential problems concerning the application of the in strument.
