Bibliotherapy for clinically significant emotional disorders is more effective than waiting list or no treatment conditions. The dearth of studies on self-help groups for emotional disorders does not permit an evidence-based conclusion concerning the effects of self-help groups. No difference was found between bibliotherapy and psychiatric treatment of relatively short duration.

Since rehabilitation efforts have effects only after long-term endeavours, antipsychotic relapse prevention should be maintained for long periods. It is reasonable to treat patients suffering from schizophrenia and related psychoses for longer periods than indicated by the current guidelines.

The few studies included in the review did not allow conclusions about the effect of paraprofessionals compared to professionals. Pooling data from three studies, involving women only, indicated a significant effect for paraprofessionals (all volunteers) compared to no treatment. The evidence to date may justify the development and evaluation of programs incorporating paraprofessionals in treatment programs for anxiety and depressive disorders.

Zusammenfassung Die objektive Erfassung von k?rperlicher Arbeitsbelastung ist noch weit weniger verbreitet als die klassischen Methoden wie Frageb?gen oder Interviews, obwohl das Voranschreiten der Technik das objektive Messen von physischer Aktivit?t inzwischen akkurat und unaufdringlich gestattet. Die M?glichkeit, Akzelerometrie im betrieblichen Kontext einzusetzen, sowie der objektive Nachweis hoher Arbeitsbelastung f?r Mitarbeiter der Fraport AG konnten im Rahmen einer entsprechenden Untersuchung belegt werden.
