[Integrated individual psychotherapy of adolescent and young adult enuretic patients--psychodiagnostic and psychosomatic aspects].

The subject of this paper are fundamental positions, concerning the contents, and empirical results of 15 years time, concerning the dynamic-orientated single psychotherapy for youth and young adult enuretics. It is supported by analyses of 15 years time in the medical-psychological practice. From a sample of, all in all, 250 patients, the results of a group of 55 patients at the age of 15-21 years are shown, who were treated with dynamic-orientated single-psychotherapy, and are discussed with an emphasis on the integrative, biopsychosocial character of this illness. Enuresis nocturna is being regarded consequently as a special psychomatic complex phenomenon, and the empiric results are being interpreted with orientation to theory. There have been applied several test-methods for the purpose of inter-groupal pre-post-analyses, before and after the treatment with a duration of katamnese of 6 months. Statements concerning the efficiency, as well as essential changes of parameters in the course of the psychotherapy are special subject of result-related discussions. The results certify, that contential-specific, age-differentiated emotional and social aspects of personality and reflexion are getting very significantly changed in the course of the successful or partly successful therapy, while in the cases of the non-successfully treated patients no changes in such manner could be obtained.
