  • Title: New therapeutic approaches to psychosomatic patients: verbal and preverbal.
    Author: Bräutigam W.
    Journal: Psychother Psychosom; 1979; 31(1-4):251-9. PubMed ID: 482547.
    Abstract:
    Many of the patients passed on to us are not in a position to begin with a course of treatment aiming at introspection. Here we think that inpatient psychotherapy is a valuable preparation and initiation to the psychotherapeutic process. In a therapeutic community informal contacts with other patients can provide stimuli facilitating the transposition of physical complaints or concretistically experienced life situations. Concentrative movement therapy, group therapy and other methods are helpful to the psychosomatic patient, so as to bring about an awareness of the problematical nature of own views and attitudes.
