Abstract

The experience of a disease or an accident not only creates an existential emergency situation for those directly concerned but also affects the entire family system. Consequently, the collaboration between psychotherapists and doctors is imperative. In a pilot project, the psychotherapeutic-medical cooperation was realised with the introduction of three interaction modes, and thus the usual action dialogue was applied in an experience-oriented trialogue. The project achieved unusually positive results for the development of the affected persons, the family system, the satisfaction of the professionals, in addition to significant savings in total costs compared to conventional treatment.
