title: [Consequences of psychotherapeutic research in recent years for general practice].
abstract: Psychotherapy research nowadays has become a highly complex field. Its results are presented in 10 hypotheses of which the following are discussed in more details: 1. Indication-stereotype: Variables attractive to the therapist (as "interesting case; nice person; can help him") dominate in a unreflective way those variables characterizing the patient. Those patients called  YAVIS (young; attractive; verbal; intelligent; successful) are mostly dealt within uncovering, psychodynamic concepts whereas non-YAVIS-patients are mostly treated with undifferentiated supportive techniques. 2. Of those variables which proofed to be effective, the unspecific factors are superior to the specific, technical factors. 3. Special emphasis is put on side-effects of psychotherapy--long proofed empirically but mostly ignored clinically. 4. Efficacy of psychotherapy as such can no longer be doubted, but its cost-effect-analysis becomes a more and more crucial aspect. The consequences are in favour of short term methods. Strupp has proposed a "Tripartite Model of Psychotherapy", which tries to integrate the needs of the 3 partners involved: patient, therapist and society.
