Individualisierte geschlechtersensible Psychotherapie der Kaufsucht

Zusammenfassung

Die Kaufsucht betrifft ca. 5 % der Bevölkerung, wobei unklar bleibt, ob Männer und Frauen gleich häufig betroffen sind. Frauen sind in Behandlungssamples stärker vertreten. Die Forschung legt nahe, dass sich zugrunde liegende Mechanismen der Kaufsucht und erworbene Waren zwischen Patient*innen unterscheiden können. Diese Unterschiede sollten mit individualisierten und geschlechtersensiblen Modulen in die Therapie der Kaufsucht integriert werden.
