Abstract: With regard to philosophical anthropology, a human ecological framework for the human–environment relationship as an “ecology of the person” is outlined, which focuses on the term “relationship” and aims to be scientifically sound. It also provides theoretical orientations for multiprofessional clinical work. For this purpose, a multi-dimensional basic grid for the characterization of the individual human being is proposed. The necessity and meaningfulness of a differentiation and systematization of the terms “environment”, and above all “relationship”, are demonstrated, and practical examples and links to similar framework models are given.
