[Behavior therapy and psychiatry].
"Holistic therapy" can be just a slogan, a catchword. Two examples--the combination of behaviour therapy and pharmacotherapy on one side, the use of biofeedback in psychiatry on the other--shall present the possible integration of different therapeutic strategies into a holistic concept. The quality of different therapeutic concepts may be influenced by their possible combination. No more any therapeutic method (except some eclectic ones) can see itself as the one and only cure for everything. Of course this view has a consequence on psychopathology and diagnosis, which have to be more exact under these premisses. A holistic treatment requires more knowledge about details in psychopathology and diagnosis as well as about therapeutic methods.
