A Guide to Working with Highly Sensitive People in the Therapeutic Context

This guide helps to better understand highly sensitive people and to provide them with optimal therapeutic support. It conveys both well-founded theoretical foundations and practical guidance for diagnostics and therapy. Starting from conventional constructs, it presents a concept that is essential for the clinical context and carefully distinguishes the resources of sensitivity from the processing difficulties associated with pathological conditions. It then describes particularities in mental disorders as well as connections between high sensitivity and psychosomatic clinical pictures.
