[Psychotherapy of depression].
A distinct separation between a pathological grief reaction and "psychosomatic" depressive syndromes is suggested, which would offer the possibility of selecting a specific psychotherapeutic method. The so-called regrief therapy (Volkan) is recommended for the treatment of the pathological grief reaction and supportive and expressive psychoanalytical methods for the "psychosomatic" depressive syndromes.
