title: [Interdisciplinary team work in the treatment of cystic fibrosis: a model of psychosomatic cooperation].
abstract: The "team-approach" in the care of chronically ill children is one way of interdisciplinary cooperation. The care of CF-patients requires the coordination of all treatment-measures and the integration of psychosocial counselling and management into medical treatment. Not only emotionally straining situations--"telling" the diagnosis, non-compliance, care of terminally ill patients--have to be managed, but both, illness and treatment, produce a lot of problems, to which solutions have to be offered. The task of psychological staff is on the one hand to contribute their specific knowledge to treatment-concepts, to enhance the psychosocial competence of the medical staff and, on the other hand, to offer counselling to the patients and their parents.
