    Journal: Psychother Psychosom Med Psychol; 1990; 40(9-10):346-50. PubMed ID: 2243912.
    Abstract:
    The psychosomatic department of the Neurenberg City Hospital--a general hospital of 2,600 beds--has been existing since 1980 as an independent department within a center of neurology and psychiatry. The department's functions comprise the indoor psychosomatic-psychotherapeutic care, a liaison and consultation service, the training of interested members of the hospital's medical and nursing staff and the post-graduate training of physicians working in private practice for an additional psychotherapist's title. At present these functions are met by 7 physicians, 4 psychologists, 3 social workers with special training, 1 concentrative motion therapist and 10 nurses. A staff expansion is necessary and scheduled. As for the contents, the work is characterized by an integrative therapeutic approach: As first consequence of such an integrative approach the consultation field has to have predominance. As a second consequence the consultation field has to be established and expanded as a staff-centered liaison service and not primarily as a patient-centered consultation service. As a third consequence the training of the hospital's medical and nursing staff becomes necessary.
