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.
