Abstract:
One year after analytic oriented group psychotherapy on our psychosomatic ward a questionnaire for measuring mechanisms of defence and a symptom list were given again to the initial sample. At follow-up a significant reduction was ascertained on the dimensions turning against self and projection, on the dimension turning against object the starting position was reached again, a significant increase was ascertained for principalization--or intellectualization. The more adequate coping with conflicts in parts was associated with a significant reduction of bodily and psychic complaints.
