Zusammenfassung

Es werden die ersten Ergebnisse einer integrierten biopsychosozialen Kurzintervention bei 40 Patienten beschrieben. Sie alle fielen durch überaus häufige Arztbesuche bei niedergelassenen Allgemeinärzten auf. Alle diese Patienten litten an einer Somatisierungsstörung, meistens in Kombination mit einer Depression und/oder Angst. In einem integrierten Interview wurde eine neue Lebensgeschichte gestaltet und eine kurze psychotherapeutische Intervention zusammen mit dem Patienten geplant. Diese Intervention reduzierte die chronischesn Symptome, verbesserte die Arzt-Patient-Beziehung und verringerte die hohen Kosten für medizinische Maßnahmen.

Summary

The first result of an integrative biopsychosocial intervention among 40 patients, all ”heavy users” of primary medicine services, is described. All these patients suffered from somatization disorders, mostly in combination with depression and/or anxiety. In an integrated interview a new life-story was created, and a short psychotherapeutic intervention was planed, together with the patient. This intervention decreased the chronic symptoms, improved the doctor-patient relationship, and reduced the high financial-medical costs.
