title: [Long-term effects of inpatient psychotherapy: explanatory and transfer forms of the psychotherapy experience into everyday life].
abstract: We describe the longterm effects of inpatient psychotherapy based on biographic interviews with 46 ex-patients two years after their treatment in a psychotherapy ward which is part of a psychiatric hospital. The concept of the treatment is based on cognitive behavior therapy. In a structural hermeneutic analysis of the interviews we found 4 different types of dealing with the experience of psychic disorder and psychological treatment and, combined with it, transfer of the knowledge about psychological disorder and treatment into everyday life: 1 the "development"-type-psychotherapy as a method to reframe the individual development. 2 the "deficit"-type-psychotherapy as a system to learn how to deal with individual deficits, 3 the "deviance"-type-psychotherapy as an instrument to renormalize deviation, 4 the "overburden"-type-psychotherapy as a private area to recover and regenerate.
