Book Description
Organized – easy to implement – clearly structured
This therapy manual offers a practical introduction to a scientifically evaluated, cognitive-behavioral therapy concept for patients with somatoform complaints.
Every 5th patient in Germany suffers from organic complaints without a cause ever being found. The odyssey from doctor to doctor often ends in the recommendation to “see a psychotherapist now”.
Treatment using cognitive behavioral therapy is above all a way out of the jungle of diagnostics and incorrect therapies. The patient feels taken seriously. The manual attaches great importance to practical instructions. Due to the modular structure, the preparation and implementation of sessions is clear and unambiguous for the therapist.
A guide in 7 individual modules including working materials for practical printing.

A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
