[A combination of psychotherapy methods. Interim assessment and reconsideration]

Subject of our investigation was to analyse the results of our applied psychotherapy with in-patients at the Charité in the decade from 1968 to 1978. Contrary to our theoretical considerations regarding the combination of methods the practical results proved the success to combine under the specific conditions at the Charité symptom-centered and personality-centered procedures. Concentrating on the personality-centered aspect of the therapy this combination is not just under the economic point of view more efficient, but is also prevents far more intensive the relapse-rate of neurotic disorders with our patients.
