Three treatments per day were given individually in the room (morning, noon, and evening) and two treatments per day in the group (before lunch and afternoon) Therapy time per day was 4-5 hours. The whole program of 4 blocks was taken by 3 ms-patients (Mr A, 41 years old, development of ms in attacks with partly remissions; Mrs B, 52 years old, slow chronically progressing form of ms; Mrs C, 36 years old, development of ms in attacks with partly remissions).
14 other patients took part for 2 therapy blocks only. Even if their data were not evaluated in detail for this study their general development was along the same lines. Before starting with the treatment and after each therapy block the patients judged their mental state according to well-being and a depression scale after Dr. Zerssen, Munich.
The reports documented a slight improvement in well-being and decrease in depressive moods, even if here great individual variations were observed.
The subjective experience was characterised by two different aspects
- an intensive and effective reappraisal of previously undigested experiences as a release of past mental stress situations
- unusually deep experience of harmonious values such as trust, security, love, gratitude, inner peace, hope, confidence, freedom from worry, creativity, zest for life and happiness.
