Introduction

The burnout syndrome is a highly complex constellation with emotional, mental, somatic and social deficits. A psychosomatically oriented module has been developed with the integrative medicine approach.

In total 60 patients (36 female, 52±8.5J; 24 male, 49±5.8J.) were treated with the above therapeutical concept. Pre- and post-treatment situations were assessed on the basis of the stress management questionnaire, the Maslach inventory and a concept appraisal, which was developed specifically for this purpose.
