[Evaluation of the efficacy of concomitant special psychotherapeutic methods by patients in an internal medicine clinic].

Patients of a medical clinic whose complaints are diagnosed above all as functional are suitably at once also treated by the clinical psychologists. For this purpose the authors created an effective combination of methods. It consists of a group and individual therapy and contains rational and emotional, in addition suggestive and behaviour-therapeutic elements which for each patient are united to an individual concept. For the purpose of the control of efficiency in a particular examination was inquired how the various methods have become effective in the individual patients and which were used preferably, respectively. The inquiry is performed at the earliest half a year after the discharge. Out of 149 answers the most important results are represented and conclusions for practice are derived.
