[Diagnosis specific results of therapy of inpatient psychotherapy]

Using the cases of 760 patients the therapy results of various diagnosis groups (ICD-diagnosis and structure diagnosis) were connected with the group specific therapy motivation values and the attitudes towards psychotherapy. The results show a strikingly poor performance of the patients with the ICD-diagnosis "hysterical neurosis" as well of the patients with a schizoid personality structure. In accordance with the results of Rudolf et al. therapeutic efficiency is lower in exactly those diagnosis groups where the motivational starting conditions stand in the way of a helpful therapeutic relationship. A high rate of impairment difficulty proved to be prognostically unfavorable independent of the respective ICD-diagnosis.
