title: ["Psychological psychotherapy" in chronic inflammatory intestinal disorders].
abstract: The present critical commentary deals with the 2006 study by R. Sachsse. This study examines the influence of psychotherapy on chronic inflammatory intestinal disorders (in German: chronisch entzündliche Darmerkrankungen-CEDE) using a "disorder-specific psychotherapeutic approach". However, the study totally excluded the investigation of any relevant, disease-specific physical parameters. Therefore, conclusions on the effectiveness of the psychological psychotherapy applied in this study on the course of chronic inflammatory intestinal disorders are not possible.
