[Medications during psychotherapy (author's transl)].
The report is on medication in a specialized clinic for psychotherapy. The most important findings are the following: 1. The medications in the clinic in question are not more numerous than they are "on the outside" (=per capita consumption in the case of members of the compulsory health insurance); 2. personality sumptoms have great influence on the frequency of medicine given: older patients receive more medication than younger ones, women more than men. Obsessionally structured patients receive noticeably less medicine than the hysterically or depressively structured ones; 3. symptomes hardly have any influence: no decrease during the second half of therapy, no dependence on any fixed day of the week and the therapy hour. It is therefore concluded that with a totally smaller quantity the medications in the clinic in question show autonomy: they have evidently no direct relation to the psychotherapeutical course of treatment.
