Abstract

Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)/Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) – encoded in the ICD-10 under G93.3 – is a severe chronic neuroimmunological multisystemic disease. The cause is still unknown. This article provides therapists with advice and suggestions for their practical work with patients suffering from ME/CFS. In addition, the article points out special features of the clinical picture and discusses possible dangers in psychotherapeutically oriented work.
