title: [Therapy goals from the viewpoint of patients: what is the role of partnership?].
abstract: The topic of this investigation is the significance of the real field of reference of psychosomatic patients in inpatient psychotherapy. Data on expected therapeutic results and changes experienced by patients with a steady partner were submitted to evaluation by content analysis. The greatest importance is attached in each case to individual growth, followed by symptoms and interpersonal relationships. All patients place more emphasis on the actual field of reference at the end than at the beginning of therapy; this difference is more strongly pronounced in patients without couples interviews. Evidently patients with couples interviews assess their partnership more realistically than those without them. Moreover, therapists have presumably developed "an ear for the partner" irrespective of whether or not the partner is included.
