Abstract: The paper presented here is a contribution to the debate on the methodological dualism of hermeneutical and nomothetical procedures in psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic research. Recently, W. Tress has made re-commendations to mediate between both spheres by applying so-called "socio-empirical markers". This concept is criticized. Rather than precipitately mediating between clinical hermeneutics and empirical nomology, a critical differentiation of both methodologies is advocated. The inter-methodological dialog is furthered best by supporting hermeneutical methodology which has been devaluated in present day psychotherapy research. Recommendations to enhance the application of hermeneutics in psychoanalytic psychotherapy are given.
