Abstract:
The limits of the "language of (in) medicine" emerge more clearly when demanding situations occur. The confrontation with death is an experience which leads to speechlessness because the limitations of language coincide with a limitation of medicine. A qualified psychosocial support can, however, make a contribution in that the bereaved can be turned into mourners. With this in the background the demand for doctors to have a basic psychosocial competence is not an extravagent desire but a component of prevention.
