Medical - Medical (general) / Bericht tiefenpsychologisch fundierte bzw. analytische Psychotherapie
German term or phrase: organmedizinische
Dear Colleagues,

We need help with the following word/text:

Psychotherapeutische als auch organmedizinische Behandlungen, mit genauen Angaben wann, durch wen, warum, wozu und mit welchen Ergebnissen die Behandlungen erfolgten.

"Als Organmedizin bezeichnet man ein von der psychosomatischen Medizin abzugrenzendes Teilgebiet der Medizin, das sich mit der Diagnostik, Prävention und Therapie organisch bedingter Leiden beschäftigt."

We find 'organic medicine' as translation very misleading here.

Thanks very much in advance for any suggestion.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Anne, yes, that is the question if there is any established technical term :)

Asker: Yes, Lirka's solution for the description and incorporation of 'physical ailments' is good


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Lirka: yes, definitely the right idea, though I am no sure if somatic exists "on its own" in English ( "psychosomatic" clearly does). Perhaps the asker could use a description and somehow incorporate "physical ailments"...

agree  Andrew Bramhall: 'somatic' works fine on its own; somatic symptons as opposed to physical ones, for example.

agree  uyuni: Man muss nur aufpassen wegen "somatic symptom disorder", was ja wiederum "somatoforme Störung" bedeutet, letztere dann wieder eine psychosomatische Erkrankung...

agree  Cillie Swart: seems plausible, thanks for sharing

Explanation:
Psychotherapeutic as well as somatoform disorder / somatic symptom disorder medical treatments, with precise details of when, by whom, why, what for and with what results the treatments were carried out.

"Somatoform disorder treatment / somatic symptom disorder treatment medicine is a branch of medicine that is to be distinguished from psychosomatic medicine and deals with the diagnosis, prevention and therapy of organically caused diseases."

Diagnosis and treatment of somatoform disorders - PMC - NCBI
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov › articles › PMC5798205
JK Smith · 2012 · Organic medical conditions must be ruled out, followed by psychiatric conditions, before a positive diagnosis of a somatoform disorder is confirmed and a strategy for further care agreed upon.

Somatic symptom disorder - Diagnosis and treatment
https://www.mayoclinic.org › drc-20377781
May 8, 2018 — Antidepressant medication can help reduce symptoms associated with depression and pain that often occur with somatic symptom disorder.

Efficacy of treatment for somatoform disorders - PubMed
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov › ...
K Kroenke · 2007 · — Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was effective in most studies (11 of 13), as were antidepressants in a small number (4 of 5) of studies.

CBT is the best established treatment for a variety of somatoform disorders, with some benefit also demonstrated for a consultation letter to the primary care physician. Preliminary but not yet conclusive evidence exists for antidepressants.
