Zusammenfassung

Aufgrund vielfältiger Interaktionen zwischen körperlicher und seelischer Gesundheit bestehen enge Wechselbeziehungen zwischen psychiatrischer Versorgung und den anderen medizinischen Fachgebieten. Im Hinblick darauf wird der Stellenwert allgemeinmedizinischer ärztlicher Leistungen in der psychiatrischen Praxis erörtert. Die vorliegenden Erkenntnisse zur somatischen Komorbidität psychisch Kranker und ein steigender Anteil älterer Patienten sind wesentliche Argumente dafür, den Aspekt allgemeinmedizinischer Basiskompetenzen in verstärktem Maße in das Berufsbild des Psychiaters und Psychotherapeuten einzubeziehen.

Summary

Due to manifold interactions between physical and mental health, there exist close interactions between psychiatric care and that from other medical fields. In this regard, points of general medical practice are discussed as they relate to psychiatric care. The frequency of somatic comorbidities in patients with mental disorders and a rising proportion of elderly patients are strong arguments for inclusion of general medical elements in psychiatric and psychotherapeutic training.
