  • Title: The clinic as an interpersonal field of dynamic psychiatric treatment of psychosomatic diseases.
    Author: Pohl J.
    Journal: Psychother Psychosom; 1979; 31(1-4):190-6. PubMed ID: 482539.
    Abstract:
    In Günther Ammon's structural personality model, psychosomatic illnesses are understood to be the expression of a structural ego-defect--especially in the central ego-function of the body-ego, of identity and of constructive aggression--which owes its origin to an insufficient mother-child symbiosis. The dynamic psychiatric clinic realises an interpersonal field, into which the defects are externalised and remedied by the process of a late ego development. The clinic offers various therapeutical levels: the clinic as a whole, the analytical milieu, group and individual therapy, whereby working-through of the interdependence of patient and staff dynamics has a main integrating function.
