title: [Health education and personal therapy in self-provoked diseases (author's transl)].
abstract: Diseases due to faulty behavior patterns injurious to health-- overeating, alcoholism and nicotine abuse -- are increasing ominously in our consumer society. Those with labile attitudes gather together in courses of treatment and in hospitals where they are usually treated symptomatically and perhaps also given more or less basic information on risk factors. A behavior-therapy effect is, however, only attainable in many cases through the additional longterm experience guidance in self-experienced groups. An appropriate motivation should be attempted by psychotherapeutic methods in the internist hospital treatment which so often comes first and by the occupational therapy institutions in the not frequent criminal offence. Prophylactically we need a medical pedagogic health education from infancy onwards.
