title: [Changes in the untreated partner of the patient during analytical psychotherapy].
abstract: 50 married patients, who after a prognostical judgement had been treated psychoanalytically at the Institut für Psychogene Erkrankungen der AOK Berlin, were examined catamnestically. In the partially structured interview symptomatic and structural changes within the patients and especially within their partners were inquired. Together 35 partners were symptom-bearers before, during and after the treatment. During therapy the partners primarily showed the psychogenous symptoms anxiety, depressive variation of humor, temporary impotence, gastro-intestinal disorder; after therapy aching back. 32 partners came to a partial (28) or satisfactory (4) structurally progressive development, 3 partners to a regressive development; 16 pairs succeeded in improving their professional positions. There was mostly no change in partners of patients with poor results of treatment. There were also alterations in the internal and external references of the pairs: 10 pairs divorced, whereas 16 patients now their marriage judged as satisfieing and 9 as good.
