[Results of psychodynamic inpatient psychotherapy in relation to diagnosis].
Therapy outcome is analysed according to the main diagnoses in a 5 years' sample of psychodynamic inpatient psychotherapy (n=461) and controlled in a 6-9 months follow-up (n=312). Therapy effects, as measured in a pre-post comparison of the patients' self-rating, are generally good and especially noticeable for affective and anxiety disorders, whereas the effects for somatoform disorders are relatively low. The opposite tendencies are seen in follow-up, i.e. relapses in anxiety and affective disorders, and further improvement in somatoform disorders. A surprisingly positive outcome is shown for personality disorders and especially for severe personality disorders (e.g. Borderline). Regardless of the diagnoses, 80% of the patients show a high degree of satisfaction with their treatment and its outcome.
