Summary/Abstract: The human being must be seen as an integral organism and a social individual, as a person that perceives, thinks and acts and as a complex of social relations. Because it is a bio-psycho-social synthesis, the individual cannot be taken for its social position or relations, but it also cannot be reduced to a complex of processes, skills and internal physical states, process which would be called psycologization of the human being. It can be analyzed simultaneously, from a substantial point of view (what the human beings, what are his structural components) and from a situational point of view (he is being placed in certain situation and he acts according to it).
