title: [A group-behavior-psychotherapy concept: treatment of psychosomatic disorders].
abstract: The paper concerns with group-behavior-therapy with patients having psychosomatic disorders. The therapy was applied to two groups. The therapy has not been fully standardized but individual differences of each client's behavior-analysis was taken into account. The clients were to learn the understanding of the development of their symptoms and the conditions under which the symptoms remained and changed. Clients should help each other as co-therapists. The group-therapy was divided into three parts: (1) communication-training in the group, (2) introduction to the basic principles of learning, (3) application of special therapeutic methods. The therapy procedure as well as the results of the first follow-up are reported. The concept of group-therapy is discussed.
