About

Psychotraumatology is clinically highly relevant, especially in the medical-somatic disciplines. Despite progress in recent decades, the clinical care is still inadequate - with unfavorable health effects for affected patients. There are avoidable burdens for involved clinicians and the health care system as a whole, also in terms of costs. With this background, our long-term project combines different research levels. Besides clarifying the clinical phenomenon, it aims to examine 1) the influence of traumatization on the physician-patient interaction as well as 2) the current psychological stress of the patients. Furthermore, 3) moderating factors on the side of the physicians, such as professional experience on the physician-patient interaction will be examined.
