Each of us is challenged to develop solutions for communication with patients in our own field. What I would like to offer comes, on the one hand, from my own communication practice with subjects and, on the other hand, from a philosophy and technique of communication that proposes to behave strategically towards one‘s interlocutor: Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP).

Background: Psychosocial factors in cardiovascular diseases are increasingly acknowledged by patients, health care providers and payer organizations. Due to the rapidly increasing body of evidence, the German Cardiac Society has commissioned an update of its 2013 position paper on this topic. The German version was published in 2018 and the current manuscript is an extended translation of the original version. Methods: This position paper provides a synopsis of the state of knowledge regarding psychosocial factors in the most relevant cardiovascular diseases and gives recommendations with respect to their consideration in clinical practice. Results: Psychosocial factors such as low socioeconomic status, acute and chronic stress, depression, anxiety and low social support are associated with an unfavorable prognosis. Psychosocial problems and mental comorbidities should be assessed routinely to initiate targeted diagnostics and treatment. For all patients, treatment should consider age and gender differences as well as individual patient preferences. Multimodal treatment concepts should comprise education, physical exercise, motivational counseling and relaxation training or stress management. In cases of mental comorbidities, brief psychosocial interventions by primary care providers or cardiologists, regular psychotherapy and/or medications should be offered. While these interventions have positive effects on psychological symptoms, robust evidence for possible effects on cardiac outcomes is still lacking. Conclusions: For coronary heart disease, chronic heart failure, arterial hypertension, and some arrhythmias, there is robust evidence supporting the relevance of psychosocial factors, pointing to a need for considering them in cardiological care. However, there are still shortcomings in implementing psychosocial treatment, and prognostic effects of psychotherapy and psychotropic drugs remain uncertain. There is a need for enhanced provider education and more treatment trials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Europe, especially in German speaking countries, aesthetic medicine has only low social acceptance, although patient numbers are increasing. The result of the low level of social standing, which is caused by conservative members of the medical profession, is to weaken the sense of identity of aesthetic practitioners. This article examines the reasons for the growth in patient numbers, despite the low level of acceptance, and shows ways in which identication within the field of aesthetic medicine can be enhanced.
