title: [Inpatient psychotherapy of hyperemesis gravidarum--a case report].
abstract: Although now there is no doubt about the role of psychosocial factors in hyperemesis gravidarum, remarkably little literature can be found on the subject of psychotherapy and hyperemesis. This may be due to the decreasing number of severe cases, light cases generally do not require treatment. In the past, mostly hypnosis and several different types of supportive psychotherapy were propagated. We are reporting about the trial attempt of treating a patient with hyperemesis gravidarum with in-patient psychotherapy on an internal medicine-psychosomatics ward in tight cooperation with the referring gynaecological clinic. We suggest in-patient psychotherapy as one possibility of treating protracted vomiting in pregnancy.
