Psychische Erkrankungen sind zunehmend Grund für Arbeitsunfähigkeit und Frühberentung
aus Krankheitsgründen. Sie bilden einen Hauptrisikofaktor für eingeschränkte Teilhabe
am Erwerbsleben (z.B. [1]
[2]). Dennoch wird das Thema Beruf in der psychotherapeutischen Akutversorgung oft nur
nachrangig behandelt. Wie aber kann das Thema Arbeit spezifisch in der Psychotherapie
behandelt werden? Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt einen Überblick.
Abstract
Mental illness is a central risk factor for occupational incapacity and premature
retirement. One of the contributors for mental illness as well as somatic diseases
is chronic stress at work. Therefore, it is essential for affected individuals to
get professional help in order to identify and ease mental stress at work as well
as to regain their working ability and prevent relapses. Job-related stress models
facilitate the identification of health-relevant stress factors on an individual and
organizational level. This enables therapists to use job-related treatment approaches.
These should comprise the following elements: motivational support, cognitive coping
strategies, provision of knowledge and exercises for the competence to act and strategies
for recovery, and social counseling. Promising results in the growing field of internet-based
occupational e-mental health allow us to expect good effects in prevention and psychotherapeutic
treatment of occupational stress.
