The ideas of Michael Balint are very much alive, but - because of the changed realities in the medical field - no longer as he originally foresaw, but in settings adapted to the new situations in medicine.

Because interpersonal problems, and especially the therapeutic alliance, are strong predictors of outcome in individual psychotherapy, specific attention should be paid to this relationship in the treatment of alexithymic patients.

There is no need for any other fundamentally different concepts. After the follow-up outpatient treatments, older patients and the therapists expressed an increased acceptance of psychotherapy. The effectiveness of treatment in older patients may result from their good resources. The results of the catamnesis show encouraging findings for the psychosomatic treatment of older patients, also in the long term from 1,5 to 2 years.

In line with Beckermann (2008), the first the four possible positions on the mind-brain problem are presented. The debate over the past 100 years has revolved around the question of whether mental events are ontologically independent of brain physiology or whether they are in fact entirely determined by it. Such a physicalism approach based on properties (i.e., mental characteristics or phenomena are physical or can be completely reduced to physical characteristics), however, is diametrically opposed to some of our strongest intuitions, e.g., that computers will never be able to develop qualities of human experience (qu...

Methods/sample: We examined 153 inpatients with 131 complete datasets. The examination was done at the beginning and at the end of the treatment using the Frankfurt Body Concept Scale (FKKS, Deusinger 1998). The results were calculated by t-test for dependent samples, posthoc Scheffé-tests and univariate variance analysis. Results: The diagnoses indicated a more positive body concept at the end of the treatment (patients with somatoform disorder had effect sizes between -0.2 and -0.4, patients with depressions between -0.4 and -0.7, and patients with eating disorders between -0.3 and -0.7). Gender and age had only little influence on the positive changes. Di...

To date, little research has been done concerning the impact of this modern lifestyle on partnership and family life, particularly on dual-career couples and long-distance commuters. The results of a literature review are presented based on age, sex, family cycle and consequences for children; research questions are formulated. Sex-specific differences seem to be especially important, confirming the "household responsibility hypothesis." The commuter marriage as a new lifestyle seems to have become a coping mechanism for the increasing necessity in our society to commute. PMID...

Epidemiological evidence has indicated that OCD may be one of the most prevalent and disabling psychiatric disorders. There is also a high comorbidity with depression and anxiety disorders. OCD is characterized by repetitive, intrusive thoughts and images, and/or by repetitive, ritualistic physical or mental acts performed to reduce the attended anxiety. OCD is relatively common, affecting 1-3% of both adult and paediatric samples. OCD is clinically a heterogeneous condition in that two different patients with clear OCD can display completely distinct symptom patterns. Furthermore, neurobiological and psychological m...

This is true even if patients with mental disorders covering a broader range of alexithymia are included.

However, the traditional distinction between efficacy and process research among the various schools of psychotherapy researchmay be hampering further developments in this branch. The government-funded research networks may turn out to be promising approaches to overcoming some of the obstacles of classic psychotherapy research.

PNI research represents a rapidly growing area within psychosomatic research. Recent studies in PNI are based mainly on the immunological concepts of Th1/Th2 dichotomy and inflammation. This review covers human PNI studies dealing with stress-associated changes in cytokine (Th1, Th2) levels in immune-related processes such as wound healing, atopic diseases as well as autoimmune and other inflammatory diseases. It is shown that PNI studies measuring immune activity near the site of the disease (e. g. woundhealing) and dealing with objective stressors show more consistent findings (stress-associated Th1/Th2 shift, stress-associa...

Mild and transient DP-DR are considered to be common phenomena. The prevalence of depersonalization-derealization disorder (DP-DR-D) is estimated to be approx. 1-2% of the general population in the Western hemisphere. DP-DR-D is probably severely underdiagnosed. DP-DR-D is strongly associated with depression and anxiety disorders. It is suggested that symptoms of DP-DR indicate disease severity and negatively predict therapy outcome. Neurobiological and psychological models have shown that a disordered body schema and emotional and autonomic blunting are essential components of the disorder. Desp...

For diagnosing personality disorders, however, clinical interviewing remains necessary. Norms and a dimensional personality disorder profile provide hints concerning the presence of pathological personality traits with respect to the reference group. The ADP-IV represents the only German-language questionnaire for the assessment of DSM-IV personality disorders which has been sufficiently validated.

RESULTS: Subjectively, the patients experienced their group as being helpful and described their symptoms as having slightly improved. The patients showed high scores in the anxiety questionnaire, which marginally improved over time. Avoiding behaviour did not change.

Overweight and obesity are widespread and go hand in hand with an increased health risk. The etiology of obesity is multifactorial based on gene/environment interactions; hyperalimentation and physical inactivity, as an expression of the rapid technical advancements within the past decades, have, however, had a decisive influence on the pandemic spreading of obesity. The prevalence of mental disorders is increased particularly in obese women. Although phylogenetically of relevance, an environment that associates slimness with beauty, health, physical and mental proficiency leads to a stigmatization of the obese. The results are mental symptoms and ...

Overweight and obesity are widespread and go hand in hand with an increased health risk. The etiology of obesity is multifactorial based on gene/environment interactions; hyperalimentation and physical inactivity, as an expression of the rapid technical advancements within the past decades, have, however, had a decisive influence on the pandemic spreading of obesity. The prevalence of mental disorders is increased particularly in obese women.

Using the concepts of conflict and structure as derived from the Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnostic system (OPD-2), four principles of a dysfunctional relationship formation are discussed. It is shown that the differentiation of conflict- and structure-related pathology is highly significant with regard to the selection of an appropriate psychotherapeutic strategy. Furthermore, the connections between the OPD axes relationship, conflict, and structure are conceptualized. PMID: 17688784 [...

In humans it is the special relationship in which the organization of emotions, empathy and knowledge about oneself and others is combined and represented in inner working models. For this, it is innate to human nature to form joint attention structures in which language develops for learning individual and particularly emotional and cultural meanings by narrative interpretations of various experiences. These processes are essential for the development of human beings. Joint attention is initially and primarily formed between infants and attachment persons. Fathers in particular can be additional supportive attachment persons, as well as...

FGID are associated with significant work absenteeism, impaired quality of life, and increased medical costs. Many patients also suffer from psychosocial problems. Most of the research in FGID to date has focused on the irritable bowel syndrome. Randomised controlled studies have shown that psychotherapy is superior to conventional medical therapy. The gut-focussed hypnotherapy seems to be very successful. For IBD it is increasingly recognized that the psycho-neuro-endocrine network can modulate inflammation and pain perception and that psychosocial factors are related to exacerbation of and copi...
