title: [Use of psychological pain-control technics in psychiatry].
abstract: In recent years the initial attempts at algotherapy employing the predominating forms, such as medicinal treatment, electrotherapy, and operative treatment, have greatly improved the care of patients suffering pain. Psychological pain control techniques are a further feasible means of treatment. They include cognitive and behavioral intervention techniques in part already well known that can accompany and enhance traditional forms of anodyne therapy. By way of example, the concept of "pain inoculation" (Bullinger & Turk, 1982) is described in its sequence of phases. Methods of application in clinical practice are referred to.
