Zusammenfassung
Patienten mit generalisierten, stressinduzierten Schmerzstörungen weisen neben den Schmerzen häufig starke Beeinträchtigungen des alltäglichen Funktionsniveaus und ausgeprägte, dysfunktionale Interaktionsmuster auf. Kognitiv-verhaltenstherapeutische Schmerzbewältigungsprogramme greifen bei dieser Patientengruppe meist zu kurz. Die interaktionelle (störungsspezifische) Gruppentherapie stellt eine Möglichkeit dar, dysfunktionale Interaktionsmuster so zu verändern, dass es zum Rückgang der Stressbelastung und damit der assoziierten Schmerzsymptomatik kommt. Hintergrund und zentrale Aspekte der Behandlungsmethode werden dargestellt.
Abstract
In clinical practice, patients suffering from generalized stress-induced pain syndromes often report pronounced impairments in everyday activities and demonstrate pronounced interpersonal problems in addition to the pain. Cognitive behavioral therapeutic pain coping programs often yield unsatisfactory result. A specific interactional (disorder-specific) group therapy may help to change these interpersonal problems by reducing the levels of stress and associated pain symptomatology. The background and central strategies of this treatment approach are described.
