Abstract

OBJECTIVE AND METHOD: Inpatients of "psychotherapeutic treatment units" at State Mental Hospitals in Bavaria are different from those treated in so-called psychosomatic clinics for rehabilitation, looking at additional criteria like psychiatric and somatic comorbidity or suicidal behaviour.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Treatment concepts and results are respectable and comparable to so-called psychosomatic clinic. In this paper we describe the "Psychotherapy Unit" at the Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Bayreuth. Depressive episode is the most diagnosis, with 1 to 4 comorbid psychiatric diagnosis in 82 % of all patients and 28 % with somatic comorbidity.
