| Popis: | The TCM hospital Bad Kötzting is historically the first inpatient facility in Germany with an emphasis on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The clinic's specialty is the multimodal treatment of somatic complaints in conjunction with acute psychological or psychiatric comorbidity. Most patients present with clinical problems of a high degree of chronicity and complexity. Over the past 25 years the treatment concept of the hospital has developed from a strictly TCM approach to a multimodal combination of TCM, psychosomatic medicine, and lifestyle medicine. This article outlines the admission and intake procedures and describes the process of determining the TCM diagnoses and treatment protocols. A typical case study illustrates this process in more details. Then, we present the various components of the psychotherapeutic and psychoeducational programs, including innovative approaches to lifestyle medicine. In conclusion, the treatment program at the TCM hospital Bad Kötzting has developed into a multimodal approach that synergistically intertwines diverse therapies drawn from Eastern and Western traditions, effectively combining the best approaches of both contexts. |
