Is Dynamic Psychotherapy Contraindicated for a Large Number of Patients with Psychosomatic Diseases?

摘要

Although analysts have recommended psychodynamic therapy with modification, for patients suffering from psychosomatic diseases, there seems to be little useful information about the value of such psychological treatments. Psychosomatic patients in considerable numbers seem to lack an ability to verbalize an awareness of emotions, and an ability to express them appropriately, therefore they tend to get more by psychodynamic psychotherapy. A case example illustrating their points, is briefly presented in this paper.
