[Psychiatric-psychotherapeutic management of trauma patients].

Abstract

Psychiatric and psychotherapeutic treatment of victims of accidents is based on a concept of comprehensive medical diagnostic and therapy. This integrating approach is aiming at the emotional care for injured people, who already had mental disturbances before the accident or following the trauma. During 11 years as psychiatric and psychotherapeutic consultant at the Accident Hospital Lorenz Böhler in Vienna more than 2000 rounds where done. The necessary interventions during traumatologic treatment of stationary patients are demonstrated in an exemplary way.
