Psychotherapy of hospitalized patients - between option and necessity

Abstract

The existence of reciprocal psyche-soma influence requires a double relationship, medical and psychological; the consequences of poor communication include noncompliance to treatment and malpractice legal actions. This paper provides explanations which necessarily require psychosomatic approach of each patient, the patient reacting massively in psychological plan. Delimitation of competence of various specialties is only for the benefit of the patient, who will be investigated and treated according to custom issues (“There are no diseases, only ill people”), imposing thus the integration of the psychologist in the therapeutic team.
