[Partial inpatient treatment as a responsibility in psychosomatic rehabilitation]. / Teilstationäre Behandlung als Aufgabe der psychosomatischen Rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT

Day clinic rehabilitation is part of the development of the medical rehabilitation system. Psychosomatic rehabilitation faces the task of developing a concept of day treatment and of collecting experiences with such models in clinical practice. The basis of this task consists in regulations laid down by the social security insurance authorities which serve as a frame for the development. The main points of these regulations are presented and their relevance for psychosomatic rehabilitation is outlined. The institutional and conceptual establishment of day treatment presents psychosomatic rehabilitation with a number of problems that are particular in this area and which are discussed in detail. Besides that, consequent elaboration of day treatment could stimulate further development of psychosomatic rehabilitation in general and help to overcome prevailing shortcomings of this part of the rehabilitation system.
