Concentrative Movement Therapy (CMT) in a clinical setting - in-patient group psychotherapy with burnout patients

摘要

First of all, the clinic for psychosomatics and psychotherapeutic medicine in Nuremberg is introduced, the difficulties in diagnosing burnout are explained and the in-patient treatment concept for patients with this condition is outlined. The approach used in CMT group therapy with burnout patients is then presented in detail. Individual proposals are illustrated step by step and the therapeutic background and experiences expounded. Finally, the attempt is made to work out the unique aspects of CMT (in German: Konzentrative Bewegungstherapie, KBT) in comparison with other methods.
