[An consultation concept for integrating psychosomatic medicine in gynecology].
This paper is meant to survey the results of an interdisciplinary concept of psychosomatic patient treatment carried out for two years at the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of the University of Cologne. This integral programme offers a psychosomatic consultation hour taking place once a week at the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics. Each first consultation is attended both by a psychosomatic specialist and a gynaecologist. The hypothesis underlying this new programme, which supposes that the integration of the psychosomatic treatment into the everyday routine of the clinic would make it easier for the patients to find access to psychological help, has proved right in view of the experience made so far. In comparison to the former counselling concept, the newly established gynaecologic-psychosomatical programme has increased the attendance by 300%. Thanks to the integrated consultation hour the way of seeing gynaecological problems in a psychosomatic context has increased considerably within the clinic itself so that these problems can now often be solved directly between gynaecologist and patient without making use of the offered consultation hour. Experiences made so far prove that the psychosomatic consultation hours are a valuable contribution to the diagnostic and therapeutic spectrum of the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics.
