Ärztliche Gesprächsführung (Kliniktaschenbücher)

Ärztliche Maßnahmen aus psychologischer Sicht — Beiträge zur medizinischen Psychologie

Wenn ärztliche Maßnahmen aus psychologischer Sicht betrachtet werden, dann könnte der es sollten Verhaltensweisen einer Berufsgruppe mit dem Instrumen­ Verdacht aufkommen, tarium einer anderen Berufsgruppe gleichsam seziert und die Ergebnisse einer interessier­ ten Öffentlichkeit preisgegeben werden. Angesichts der berufspolitischen Kontroversen, die zwischen Ärzten und Psychologen nach wie vor bestehen - man denke an die umstrit­ tene Frage der eigenständigen psychotherapeutischen Tätigkeit von Psychologen - wäre ein solches Vorgehen ganz sicher nicht geeignet, die medizinisch-psychologische Koopera­ tion zu fördern, die u. E. im Interesse der Sache, .und das heißt hier der Gesundheit der Patienten, dringend angezeigt ist. Es ist aber vielmehr das Ziel dieses Buches, an Beispielen gerade die Möglichkeiten zur Zusammenarbeit von Ärzten und Psychologen aufzuzeigen. Zunehmend interessieren sich auch Ärzte für das, was außerhalb der ärztlichen Maß­ nahmen mit den Patienten geschieht: die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Kranksein über­ haupt, die vorbereitende Beschäftigung mit den medizinischen Maßnahmen und auch die psychologische Verarbeitung danach. Da sie in der Regel nicht über die Möglichkeiten ver­ fügen, derartige Phänomene selbst wissenschaftlich zu untersuchen, nehmen sie mehr und mehr die Hilfe von empirisch arbeitenden Psychologen in Anspruch. Solche Psychologen, die zudem noch mit den medizinischen Handlungsfeldern vertraut sind und gewissermaßen mit den ärztlichen Bemühungen sympathisieren, finden sich neuerdings vor allem in den medizinpsychologischen Abteilungen der medizinischen Fachbereiche, die ursprünglich vor gut zehn Jahren zur Erteilung eines psychologischen Grundlagenunterrichts für Medi-: .zinstudenten eingerichtet worden sind.

Ärztliche Propädeutik: Gespräch, Anamnese, Interview Einführung in die anthropologische Medizin — wissenschaftstheoretische und praktische Grundlagen (Schriften zur anthropologischen und interdisziplinären Forschung in der Medizin)

Das Interesse an den anthropologischen Grundlagen der Medizin, insbesondere der psychosomatischen Medizin ist in dem Maße gewachsen, in dem die Vielfalt der sog. "ganzheitlichen" Ansätze" und der verschiedenen psychotherapeutischen Richtungen fast unübersehbar geworden ist. In dieser Situation bietet das soeben erschienene Lehrbuch eine von der unmittelbaren Beobachtung und ärztlichen Erfahrung ausgehende Klärung und Übersicht. Der Autor - Internist und Psychoanalytiker, Nachfolger von Viktor von Weizsäcker und Paul Christian als Leiter der Heidelberger Abteilung für "Allgemeine Klinische und Psychosomatische Medizin" - legt die Grundlagen einer anthropologisch verstandenen Psychosomatik vor, die Gesichtspunkte der Allgemeinen Medizin mit wissenschaftstheoretischen, praktisch-ärztlichen und persönlich-psychotherapeutischen Erfahrungen zu einer lebendigen - in der Konzeptualisierung völlig neuen - Einheit verbindet. Neuartig und ungewöhnlich ist auch die Form der Darstellung: dem fortlaufenden "text" der inhaltlichen "Vorunterweisung" wird ein "kontext" gegenübergestellt, der sehr persönliche Anmerkungen und Assoziationen des Verfassers enthält und Raum für eigene Überlegungen und Assoziationen des Lesers gibt. Aus jahrelanger Unterrichts- und Vorlesungspraxis, sowie Erfahrungen bei Fort- und Weiterbildungsveranstaltungen mit Ärzten und Studenten entstanden, bietet das Buch sowohl dem Studienanfänger wie dem erfahrenen Arzt und Psychotherapeuten eine lebendige Einführung in die Diskussion der Grundlagen ärztlicher Tätigkeit und ihrer wissenschaftlichen Bewältigung.

As a Matter of Course

Annie Call wrote for The Ladies Home Journal. Her main interest was mental health. Call states that when we no longer put up resistance to the things in life that seem to be painful and evil we can then reach interior freedom. We free our natural love of self. The preface begins, "The aim of this book is to assist towards the removal of nervous irritants, which are not only the cause of much physical disease, but materially interfere with the best possibilities of usefulness and pleasure in everyday life." Topics covered include physical care, amusements, brain impressions, the triviality of trivialities, moods, tolerance, sympathy, others, one's self, children, illness, sentiment versus sentimentality, and problems.
