[Documentation and control of the change process in group psychotherapy].

The practicabilites of applying methods for the representation and control of defined process data from a pragmatic aspect are described, and the significance of some methods to interpret a relevant therapeutic situation as well as to reveal the result obtained in therapy is specified. The actual possibilities to mathematicise the individual process characteristics apply to the definitions of three phases of therapy and permit to determining certain constellations in terms of being beneficial to or an obstacle for therapy. From this follow the relatively objective elements for supervision, in particular the qualification of group trainers within a uniform model of therapy and settings.

[Motive for premature terminations of AT group treatment].

Among a total of 600 patients, 58 patients were selected and included in two comparative groups (patients interrupting and patients completing an AT course). The patients were parallelized with respect to age, sex, picture of complaints and personality characteristics. The checkups were carried out in the form of standardised interviews, of an exploration, of the 470-FE test and the BFB (pre-and posttest). Positive stabilisation and valuation of the method as well as an undisturbed relation with the therapist correlate with a completion of the therapy; premature interruption of the therapy is essentially due to the effect of environmental conditions involving conflicts and to a lesser extent to preconceived negative attitudes towards the method. Presumably, orientation on the psychotherapeutic method already exerts a positive influence by a prevention of a further iatrogenisation and additional fixation.

[Prognosis, chronification and therapeutic relations in unsatisfactorily improved secondary faulty developments with cardiovascular affections].

In a group of 36 neurotic women with unsatisfactory psychotherapy results, prognostic criteria, chronifying factors in the course, therapeutist-patient relations, test data, and social and clinical criteria were ascertained for an assessment of success by neutral examiners and statistically correlated. The significance of common prognostic criteria is relativised and the therapeutist-patient relation is determined as an influencing factor through which prognostic and chronifying factors are translated into the therapeutic process. The relevance of the paranoid scale of the MMPI as an objective prognostic sign is particularly noted.

[Psychotherapy for suicidal inclinations].

Suicidality is not an expression of a unique disease, but often the symptom of a neurotic reaction or of primary psychic maldevelopment. Forms of neurosis, where the number of symptoms is relatively small, tend to develop what may be called the "suicidality" symptom. Selection of the method of therapy depends, not upon the degree and seriousness of the inclination of commit suicide, but upon the underlying disease. In the case of neurotic reactions it is recommended to resort to the method of discussing the respective conflicts and make use of autogenic training. In the case of primary psychic maldevelopments it is necessary to choose a form of therapy centering on the personality, and this can be in the form of short-term specific therapy or in the form of group psychotherapy.

[Psychophysiological studies in the framework of objective diagnosis of neuroses with factor and discrimination analyses].

This paper describes a complex method of collecting objective data to be used in the diagnosis of neuroses on the basis of clinical, experimental psychological, and objective psychophysiological parameters. The data collected was processsed using the methods of factor and discriminatory analysis. The results obtained clearly show that this approach to additional objective diagnosis may be successfully used in spite of some procedural difficulties.

[Clinical, psychological, and psychophysiological characteristics of neurotic-functional, cardiovascular and neurotic-depressive syndromes].

A total of ninety women classified into three groups (with cardiovascular, depressive, and other principal symptoms) according to clinical criteria were characterized by clinico-anamnestic, psychological, and psychophysiological data with the goal of arriving at a practically oriented differentiation of neurotic syndromes. The relevant variables were determined by means of a factor analysis. The physiological reaction patterns determined in experiments on psychically strained individuals proved unsuitable for the differentiation of the two syndromes. The problems associated with a symptom-oriented classification are discussed.

[The position of concentrated relaxation in a training program for the psychoprerention of myocardial infarction].

After a summarised presentation of the institutional framework and of the aims of a training programme developed from psychotherapeutic and social psychological techniques, the method of concentrated relaxation is described in detail and its especial function in the first phase of training is explained. Through prompt realization results being made available through identification being made easier by the assigning into groups, through the stimulation of independent activity and the creation of an initial awareness of the problem, concentrated relaxation becomes the upholding element of this first phase, the aim of which is the increasing of motivation towards further participation in training in this relatively unsusceptible group.

[Reactive music therapy in psychotherapeutic group talks].

The authors, after presenting a survey of the literature on techniques of receptive musical therapy used for both individuals and groups, describe the use of Schwabe's reactive musical therapy within psychotherapeutical group talks. Experience gained using this particular technique of muscial therapy is reported, the institutional and theoretical reference system, by which reactive musical group therapy may be used, being described in greater detail. Also, special mention is made in this paper of contraindications and their respective conditions.
