Symptom-zentrierte Psychotherapie bei Patienten mit funktionellen Stimmstörungen

As a disorder of an ego-function, functional voice disorders display a remarkable sensitivity and variability towards psychosocial factors and an often immediate connection with the underlying psychic conflict constellation. Being concentrated on their symptomatics, patients with functional voice disorders command a good capacity of observing their complaints and factors affecting them. Symptom-centered short-term psychotherapy makes use of the particular character of the voice symptom and of the patient's capacity in a focal treatment of the symptom.
