title: [Research activity in the psychosomatic medicine/psychotherapy specialty at West German universities--a 1978-1988 status report].
abstract: The documentation of research activities in the discipline of psychosomatics/psychotherapy at the Federal German universities during the past 10 years includes scientific papers and monographs as well as research projects. In addition, a list of theses submitted by candidates wishing to qualify for lecturing at a German university ("Habi,-litationsschrift") has been set up for the same period. The emphasis is on psychosomatic/psychotherapeutic care, specific psychosomatic diseases and the management of chronic diseases, whereas less research activity was seen in the areas of psychophysiology and epidemiology. The data represent considerable research activity in this discipline, but it would be advisable to see to it that in the future such data are better documented and coordinated.
