Abstract
A modern view in psychology stresses the interaction between individual and environmental factors as an important basis for analyzing psychological events. This view, which has been called interactionism, has developed in complexity over the years, and now a physiological level of variables is often also included in the analysis. The interactional perspective has spread into many fields of application, and in clinical psychology Magnusson and Ohman [18] discuss the possibility of applying it to phenomena connected with psychopathology.
