Differenciating between Councelling and Psychotherapy in the General Practice

Journal/Book: Natur- und Ganzheitsmedizin Wissenschaft und Praxis. 1992; 5/8: 229-232.

Abstract: Diagnosis of psychosomatic disturbances and psychotherapeutical treatment of disturbances are carried through much too rarely in the general practice. A lack of competence an behalf of the doctors, limited possibilities of further training for the doctors, and a type of reimbursement which is not adapted to the real requirements of the practice are the main obstacles for a fast improvement of this deplorable state of affairs. The doctor's perception of himself in his relationship to his patient must be trained. Instead of a one-sided councelling the doctor-patient-dialogue should become a real discussion in dialogue form.
