criticism
Some members of pro mente austria criticize the German model of psychosomatic clinics as a "psychiatry light", since the patients treated there often do not suffer from psychosomatic problems, but mostly from anxiety disorders and depression, mild personality disorders and also mild alcohol diseases, for which, according to Pro mente modern scientific psychiatry and psychotherapy primarily suggests outpatient forms of therapy and non-inpatient admissions.
