Das OLG München hat kürzlich in einer Entscheidung die Verkäuferin einer zahnärztlichen Praxis zur Zahlung einer Vertragsstrafe wegen eines Verstoßes gegen ein nachvertragliches Wettbewerbsverbot verurteilt. Das im Praxisübernahmevertrag vorgesehene Wettbewerbsverbot knüpfte allerdings seinem Wortlaut nach lediglich an eine Niederlassung innerhalb einer räumlich und gegenständlich näher beschriebenen Verbotszone an. Das OLG München gelangt im Wege einer ergänzenden Vertragsauslegung zum Ergebnis, dass auch Einwirkungshandlungen von außerhalb der Verbotszone unter das vertragsstrafebewehrte Wettbewerbsverbot fallen. Die Entscheidung des OLG München gibt Veranlassung zu Kritik und dazu, die gängige kautelarjuristische Praxis einer Überprüfung zu unterziehen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cosmetic genital surgery on intersex children has been the target of criticism for more than two decades now. Since 2005 international and national medical guidelines have been gradually revised. Has the clinical practice changed accordingly so that the controversial surgeries are on the decline in Germany? Using the diagnosis-related group (DRG) data on genital surgeries carried out in German hospitals from 2005 to 2014, the author analyzed in a detailed study (Klöppel, 2016) the frequency of feminizing and masculinizing genital surgeries on children under 10 years of age who had been diagnosed with variations of physical sex characteristics. The present article is based on this larger study, which determined that the relative frequency of feminizing and masculinizing genital surgery on intersex children has not declined since 2005.

Social traumatization is targeted at entire victim groups and occurs in a societal context. The classification of posttraumatic stress disorders in DSM-5, which intentionally fails to differentiate between different types of traumatic events, ignores the social factors of traumatogenic pathologies. Whereas clinical practice unanimously embraces the thorough exploration of patients' individual life experiences and history of suffering, taking the relevant social and environmental factors into account, in the classification systems (DSM-5 and ICD-10) it has been decided to address posttraumatic disorders as individual pathologies and not as social phenomena. Even equating social trauma with a disease may foster this partial exclusion, which in turn can contribute to perpetuation of the posttraumatic condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although part of the medical fold since the 1870s, hypnosis was long relegated to the margins, recognised and used by only a relatively small group of medical professionals. In the decades around 1900 hypnotic techniques were monopolised as a form of medical treatment through a long and in no way linear process. Hypnosis of laymen was vehemently opposed, however, denounced as being far too dangerous. And yet, medical participation in the aura of spectacular intervention into the human psyche garnered support. The medium of both documentary and instructional film served an important function in this regard, conveying popular interest in acknowledging hypnosis as a scientific method. On the basis of four medically accredited films on hypnosis from 1920 to 1936, this paper attempts to investigate how medical experts and these genres, as part of their effort to claim hypnosis from the realm of public spectacle and parapsychological experimentation, worked to stabilise hypnosis as a purified form of medical and psychiatric practice.

Our concepts are those linguistic tools which we use in clinical practice as well as among colleagues and in scientific communication. For a multitude of reasons the meaning and usage of concepts are subject to a continuous historically and scientifically based transition. However, occasionally a reverse trend can be observed: the meaning of concepts should be codified and are therefore quasi pronounced 'holy'. In this article a plea is made not to regard concepts as 'holy' but as adaptable and modifiable. However, this means preserving some of these characteristics of our concepts with the result that our concepts relate to a specific object, the human psyche, and that our concepts must stand the test of clinical practice.

In the last 50 years inpatient psychosomatic psychotherapeutic treatment in Germany has undergone a special development in which the psychoanalytical and group analytical communities were substantially involved. This development will be analyzed in a review with respect to models of the clinical application of psychoanalytical treatment principles. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of transference and countertransference processes in a clinical multiperson situation and the resulting necessity of group and teamwork. Only such an integrative inpatient psychotherapy concept is from a psychoanalytical perspective in a position to utilize the interactional, scene-like restaging in a multiperson relationship field and to benefit therapeutically, by which the group analytical function of the team process plays a special role. The practical aspects of two applications of the integrative model in Essen and Dortmund will be presented and the results will be discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Zusammenfassung: Gesprächspsychotherapeutische Ansätze haben eine lange Tradition in der Suchttherapie, konnten sich jedoch gegenüber der dominierenden Verhaltenstherapie bis in die 90er Jahre des vergangenen Jahrhunderts kaum behaupten. Erst die Verbreitung und Erforschung des Motivational Interviewing (MI) in den letzten 20 Jahren führte dazu, dass die Gesprächspsychotherapie in der suchttherapeutischen Regelversorgung größere Anerkennung fand. W. R. Miller und S. Rollnick konzipierten MI ursprünglich nicht als Kurzintervention. Trotzdem wird es fast ausschließlich im Kontext von Kurzinterventionen untersucht. Empirisch validierte gesprächspsychotherapeutische Konzepte, die auf einer längeren Behandlungsdauer basieren, fehlen in der Suchttherapie weitgehend. Mit ALITA, der Ambulanten Langzeit-Intensivtherapie für Alkoholkranke, wurde ein umfassendes und langfristiges Behandlungsprogramm entwickelt, das gesprächspsychotherapeutische und verhaltenstherapeutische Therapie-Elemente kombiniert und dadurch mit den Prinzipien des MI kompatibel ist. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt eine Synopsis der zu ALITA publizierten Literatur dar, wobei auf Aspekte der therapeutischen Allianz und multiplen Beziehungsgestaltung fokussiert wird. Einer Vorstellung der wesentlichen Therapie-Elemente von ALITA folgt die Erläuterung der Integration klientenzentrierter Behandlung im Kontext der Therapeutenrotation. Eine Zusammenfassung der wichtigsten Therapieergebnisse wird ergänzt durch eine Übersicht der Prozess-Studien bei ALITA, bei denen sich die therapeutische Allianz als ein wesentlicher Therapiefaktor herausstellte. Im praktischen Teil des Beitrags beschreiben wir das therapeutische Vorgehen zur multiplen Beziehungsgestaltung in der Therapeutenrotation und stellen Vorschläge zur allianzfördernden therapeutischen Kommunikation und Interaktion dar, die sich im klinischen Alltag und bei Therapeutenschulungen von ALITA bewährt haben.

The debate about personal genomics and their role in personalized medicine has been, to some extent, hijacked by the controversy about commercially available genomic tests sold directly to consumers. The clinical validity and utility of such tests are currently limited and most medical associations recommend that consumers refrain from testing. Conversely, DTC genomics proponents and particularly the DTC industry argue that there is personal utility in acquiring genomic information. While it is necessary to debate risks and benefits of DTC genomics, we should not lose sight of the increasingly important role that genomics will play in medical practice and public health. Therefore, and in anticipation of this shift we also need to focus on important implications from the use of genomics information such as genetic discrimination, privacy protection and equitable access to health care. Undoubtedly, personal genomics will challenge our social norms maybe more than our medicine. Sticking to the polarization of «to have or not to have DTC genomics» risks to takes us away from the critical issues we need to be debating. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
