Abstract

In 1989 an investigation by questionnaire, comprising psychologists and physicians employed at all psychiatric wards in Denmark, concerning individual, supportive psychotherapy for adult psychiatric inpatients was carried out. The questionnaire was answered by 41%. In this group supportive psychotherapy constituted a large amount of the daily work, most therapists were psychoanalytically oriented, and their psychotherapies implied many directive, reality-oriented techniques as well as interpretation. The level of psychotherapeutic education was high, and a need for further education in supportive psychotherapy of psychiatric inpatients was expressed.
