From a 15-year experience with group psychotherapy in psychosomatic patients a plan of such a treatment is presented. In several points it deviates from the model of an intended dynamic group psychotherapy after Höck. These deviations are based on the peculiarities which differentiate psychosomatic patients and neurotics. In particular these are bodily symptoms of the disease, which show lower abilities for the recognition and verbalisation of emotional courses, and the experiences to be freed as a patient from certain struggles. With the help of several graphs is tried to represent the connection of three phases of treatment and their corresponding points.
