[Depersonalization-derealization in the psychosomatic outpatient and consultation-liaison service]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Symptoms of DP-DR are very common in psychosomatic patients. They represent an indicator of disease severity, which however is paradoxically not associated with increased use of psychotherapeutic health care.

CONCLUSIONS: HADS-D has only a moderate sensitivity for the group at hand. PO-Bado is a comprehensive basic documentation for specific psychooncological distress, though without cut-off values it is not useful as a screening instrument.

[Psychoneuroimmunology: an update]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is closely associated with the bidirectional pathways between mind/brain and the immune system. 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. ...

[Coping mechanisms of police officers with mental and psychosomatic symptoms after an event of potential psychotraumatic nature]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.

[Depersonalisation/derealization - clinical picture, diagnostics and therapy]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The present state of knowledge about depersonalization (DP) and derealization (DR) is reviewed with respect to classification, epidemiology, etiology, and therapy. 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 psyc...

The objectives of the study were to examine (1) whether patients with social phobia report higher symptom load at the beginning and at the end of treatment and 1 year after treatment; and (2) whether the presence of social phobia is a factor that influences the course of treatment. METHODS: 613 patients from a university hospital for psychosomatic medicine filled out questionnaires assessing symptom load (SCL 90-R, KOPS), physical symptoms, psychological and social impairment (KOPS), and depression (BDI). Social phobia was diagnosed based on a standardized diagnostic interview. RESULTS: 25%of the patients suffered from soc...

DISCUSSION: Because of the broad heterogeneity of the interventions and measuring instruments used, a metaanalysis could not be performed.
