title: [Pharmacotherapy as psychotherapy?].
abstract: If the psychotherapist considers the psychological implications of the medication, he can develop very important interventions for the result of the treatment. Diverse examples in that sense are offered. Like a symbol, a metaphor and a rite, the medication can be used much more than which it usually does. More than a parallel treatment, it is a material with which a central part of psychotherapy can be constructed.
