[Psychosomatics in gastroenterology].

With regard to the superimposed concept "psycho-somatic correlation" we describe the psychopathological mark "Alexithymia" and the related psychodynamic processes (object loss which cannot be mastered, together with following narcissistic insult and aggression defense). In the frame of the psychosomatic pathology are outlined the psychodynamic processes in patients suffering from functional gastrointestinal disorders, duodenal ulcer and ulcerative colitis. With regard to the superimposed concept "soma-to-psychic correlation" we describe the secondary-psychic reactions following the patient's perception of a failure of his bodily functions, namely: reactive anxieties and depression as well as dependency wishes and denial-work. The psychotherapeutic possibilities in psychosomatic patients concern the modifications of the classical psychoanalytic techniques, namely: psychoanalytically orientated group therapy, psychotherapeutic consultation, supportive psychotherapy on the one hand and the behavior therapy on the other hand. In contrast to it, in patients suffering from secondary-psychic reactions particularly the principle of the doctor's and nurses' emotional presence is indicated. However, the ability to realize the emotional presence function presupposes a special advanced training.

[Psychological medical aspects of the management of the tumor patient (author's transl)].

Psychodynamic processes in the sense of secondary psychic reactions which can be regularly demonstrated in tumor patients are described: object loss with subsequent narcissistic insult and aggression defense and the inherent defense mechanisms; especially is denial which appears as adaptive misadaptive. Dealing with tumor patients includes emotional receptivity on the one hand and supportive psychotherapy on the other. Furthermore, of additional importance is management of the relatives and pre-operative and post-operative care by means of selfhelp groups. From this broadly based psychological medical program arise possibilities for specific psychosomatic interventions to supplement the somatotherapeutic measures.
