[Possibilities of behavior therapy in neurologic practice].

During one year one day the week a psychiatrist and a behavior therapist cooperate in treating neurotic patients asking for help in the psychiatrist's praxis. The main interest has been to orientate the whole way of treatment-beginning with intake interview in the psychiatrist's praxis continuing in some cases with an offer of immediate behavioral therapy-at those principles the modern behavior therapy commonly uses. Those kinds of "behavioral" problem analyses the outpatient unit for behavior modification University Clinic Hamburg has developed the last ten years have been very helpful; further the different kinds of exposure in real life (in vivo) situations, but also exposure in sensu seemed to be applicable; both because of offering immediate help without looking at sex, age, socio-economic status.
