At first it may seem unusual that a cognitive behavioral treatment concept is concluded with a corresponding model and not introduced. Especially for patients who have strongly developed biomedical assumptions about their somatic symptoms at the beginning of treatment, it can be overwhelming when you are confronted with a biopsychosocial treatment model. The modules of the present treatment approach are structured in such a way that they are always introduced with psychoeducational sections, so that the patient is taught the explanatory symptom and treatment model step by step over the course of therapy. The summary of the full model in the last session helps patients to reflect on their experiences from the therapy and to put them into an overall context. The explanatory symptom and treatment model as a kind of “therapy balance sheet” then offers a good introduction to the development of strategies for dealing with future “relapse” situations.
