Abstract		The type of self-expression, that can be recognized in the works of psychopathologic art is radically different from the consciously directed creative activity. The process of traumatic contents' extemalization extends from the experience of unstuctured and non-referential organismic meanings to the creation of complex representational systems, which reflect the objectve reality in a special, system-specifc way. By representing reality the abnormal distorts its image. So a profound analysis of the symbols and other contentual efements, that appear in the psychopathologic art, provides useful information about the psychophysical condition of the creative subject.
