Handbuch psychoanalytischer Grundbegriffe
Dieses Handbuch, verfasst von rund 140 Wissenschaftlern, erläutert nach einem einheitlichen Schema die grundlegenden Begriffe der Psychoanalyse. Neben ihrer Definition, ihrer klassischen Auffassung und ihrem ideengeschichtlichen Hintergrund wird die Weiterentwicklung der klassischen Psychoanalyse in den einzelnen Schulrichtungen detailliert beschrieben. Zugleich knüpft das Handbuch an den interdisziplinären Diskurs an, indem es in einen Dialog mi…
Procrastination, Perfectionism, and Other Work-Related Mental Problems
Work-related mental problems can be defined as behaviors, emotions and cognitions that impede the successful completion of a task in a given time frame, i. e., the difficulty or inability to achieve important work-related goals. They are highly prevalent but have been neglected in psychology in general and as a target of psychotherapy in particular. Although work-related problems do not represent a mental disorder per se , they are associated wit…
Multimodal Psychotherapeutic Inpatient Therapy of Depression Is Successful in Patients With High Cytokine Production
Objective: In experimental settings, systemically elevated inflammation markers interfere with major depression treatment. In German healthcare, compulsory national health insurance covers treatment of a wide variety of depressive disorders, if it follows evidence-based medicine guidelines combining recommended therapies. To date, little is known about the relevance of immune system cytokine production with regard to real-world clinical care for …
Gold Standards,” Plurality and Monocultures
For psychotherapy of mental disorders, presently several approaches are available, such as interpersonal, humanistic, systemic, psychodynamic or cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). Pointing to the available evidence, proponents of CBT claim that CBT is the gold standard. Some authors even argue for an integrated CBT-based form of psychotherapy as the only form of psychotherapy. CBT undoubtedly has its strengths and CBT researchers have to be credit…
Are psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapies effective? A review of empirical data
There is a need for empirical outcome research in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy. However, both the approach of empirically supported therapies (EST) and the procedures of evidence-based medicine (EBM) have severe limitations making randomised controlled trials (RCTs) an absolute standard. After a critical discussion of this approach, the author reviews the empirical evidence for the efficacy of psychodynamic psychotherapy in specific p…
The Güttingen study of psychoanalytic therapy
Results of a naturalistic study of the effectiveness of psychoanalytic therapy are reported. Outcome data are presented for a sample of N = 36 patients who were treated with psychoanalytic therapy. For a sample of n = 23 of these patients, data for 1-year follow-up are available at present. According to the results, psychoanalytic therapy yielded significant improvements in symptoms (Symptom Checklist 90-R, SCL-90-R and rating of psychoanalysts),…
