Rehabilitation needs psychotherapy.
The rehabilitation patient by his permanent disablement comes into an important crisis which makes psychotherapy as reasonable and necessary as other human crisis situations do. Especially the more senior patient must be regarded within this rank. There is a broad rank of known psychotherapeutic methods which however we propose to classify in six groups with the following main factors: Verbal communication Sociodynamics Representational means The hypnoid Behaviouristic means Physical means as entrance to psychotherapy We recommend 'renaissance of conversation culture' and give further hints on conversion therapy. The hypnoid can by no means only act in functional disturbances, however, its action is directly somatotropic. We could show this in paralysed patients. Conversation with the uncurably ill needs special emphasis schooling, and mainly taking the caregivers into the conversation (systemic approach). We have with good success used a combination model, combining autogenic training with analytically orientated group psychotherapy.
