{We point out some obstacles raised by the lost of symmetry against the extension to the case of an interacting particle of the approach that {\sl deductively} establishes the Quantum Theory of a free particle according to the group theoretical methods worked out by Bargmann, Mackey and Wigner. Then we develop an approach which overcomes these difficulties in the non relativistic case. According to our approach the different specific forms of the wave equation of an interacting particle are implied by particular first order invariance properties that characterize the interaction with respect to specific sub-groups of galileian transformations. Moreover, the possibility of yet unknown forms of the wave equation is left open.
