Novitsky I.Y. Psychic system: clinical and diagnostic model of the psyche as a system. Moscow: Clinic of Doctor Novitsky, 2026. – 280 p.

This monograph attempts a fundamental reexamination of the ontological and methodological foundations of modern psychiatry. The author proposes viewing the psyche not as a collection of symptoms, functions, or nosological entities, but as a holistic, multi-level, and dynamic system with its own structure, organizational laws, and self-regulation mechanisms. This paper consistently analyzes historical models of the psyche, the limitations of existing classifications (ICD-10, ICD-11), and the reasons for the fragmentation of clinical knowledge. Based on this, the concept of a mental system is introduced, including levels, subsystems, and types of connections whose disruption underlies psychopathology. Particular attention is paid to the clinical-systemic analysis of mental disorders, the interpretation of mental status and anamnesis as reflections of the state and history of the system, and therapy as a process of restoring systemic integrity. The monograph is aimed at psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, researchers in the field of mental sciences and all specialists interested in creating a more rigorous, formalizable and at the same time humanistic model of understanding the psyche.
