Fortschritte der Psychotherapie (Band 56): Psychotherapie in der Frauenheilkunde

Psychotherapists are frequently confronted with questions and issues related to women's health in their work. Central life themes such as the desire for children, motherhood, or aging often become focal points in psychotherapy. Additionally, the symptoms of mental disorders can manifest in a cycle-dependent manner and may develop differently in connection with phases of hormonal changes, such as during pregnancy, after childbirth, or in menopause. This volume bridges the gap between psychology and gynecology. It provides information on the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for various mental disorders in the field of women's health. The volume presents current knowledge on the symptoms, etiology, diagnostics, and psychotherapeutic treatment of patients with premenstrual syndrome and fertility disorders.
