Psychosomatische Medizin und Psychotherapie: Ein Lehrbuch auf psychoanalytischer Grundlage

This textbook gives a comprehensive introduction into the field of psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy. It is directed at doctors, clinical psychologists and students. At the same time it represents an introduction to the clinic and practice of psychoanalysis and psychodynamic process and gives basic knowledge on further psychotherapeutic methods.
The work offers a consistent classification of psychogenetic disturbances. The system is founded on the pillars of conflict-, structure-, trauma- and reactive pathology. More emphasis was laid on the structure oriented approach in this new edition and the demonstration of practical treatment.
From the journal "Psyche": "The book is a manifest of the profound theoretical and clinical knowledge that psychoanalysis has available and invites to include this knowledge in debates with other therapeutic schools."
