[Incidence of psychic comorbidity in inpatient pneumological rehabilitation and indication for psychological counselling/psychotherapy].

The present study examines psychic comorbidities in patients with chronic diseases of the airways in pneumological rehabilitation centres and the indication for psychological counselling/psychotherapy. It is thus intended to help provide a rational basis for psychological and psychotherapeutic help in inpatient pneumological rehabilitation. According to accepted psychiatric screening scales (BSI, HADS), 30 % of the 159 examined patients undergoing rehabilitation were conspicuous in both questionnaires (BSI and HADS-D) and further 51 % were considered as conspicuous in one of the questionnaires. About 3 % of the pneumological patients in the Allgäu centre had a medical indication for psychological counselling/psychotherapy. In this respect the indication proved to be valid. The group of patients who were not referred to a psychological counselling/psychotherapy in spite of an existing psychic impairment showed a significantly lower motivation for treatment and a lower psychic tolerance. The large proportion of psychic stress confirms the relevance of psychological and/or psychotherapeutic help in pneumological rehabilitation.

[Critical life events as risk factors for alcoholism].

There is some evidence for a relation between critical life-events and the excessive drinking of alcoholics; the present study fits well into the approach of life-event-research assuming an aggregation of life-events and difficulties to elicit or cause excessive drinking. In all 25 men who were in danger of becoming excessive drinkers and 29 who were not--all between 18 and 24 years of age--were asked for their life-events and difficulties within the past 5 years. The LES by G. Brown was used for assessment. The results showed clear evidence for the basic hypothesis of life-event-research; to account for this a 'model of an addictive threshold' is proposed. A qualitative analysis of the experienced difficulties and the way of coping throw some light on the nonspecificity of critical life-events within the stress model.

[Self control developing function of self verbalization in children in experimental situations].

80 children received 5 different instructions which the children were supposed to repeat when exposed to classical tempting situations. As one result it could be shown that children of the middle class under the treatment conditions of verbalizing positive consequences were significantly better concerning the time of latency than those of other groups. In contrast to the expectations there were no differences according to factors like class, intelligence and latency. Results are discussed in terms of the development of self-control, relations between verbal and nonverbal behavior, cognitive behavior modification, and in the relation to a similar experiment by Hartig and Kanfer (1973).

[Attempt at scientific theoretical classification of behavior therapy].

Following the discussion about the position of behavior therapy there are mentioned some problems of behaviorism, the connection between behavior therapy and learning theory and problems of etiology and treatment. The usefulness of known criteria (formal as well as non-formal) should be demonstrated. There are discussed three different positions of behavior therapy within the scientific disciplines.
