Psychiatric and psychological brief psychotherapy for depression PKP

Kurzfassung/Abstract

This work presents the Psychiatric and Psychological Brief Psychotherapy PKP for depression, which is based on the three pillars (modules) of symptom therapy (dealing with the symptom), skills training (exposure to joy, fear, anger and grief) and working with the dysfunctional survival rule (establishing a new life rule that gives permission). Originally working with consultation cards, a PKP manual for each disorder is now the guideline for the specific therapeutic procedure. The difference to conventional therapy manuals is the modular structure, which is aimed at personalised, individual therapy planning and implementation. This results in a flexible therapy concept that differs from patient to patient.
