This book contains the proceedings of a conference organized by the
Klinik Hohenried at the Evangelische Akademie in Tutzing under the
patronage of the International Society of Cardiology - Council on
Rehabilitation - from Febr. 12-14, 1981. The purpose of the meeting
on Current Problems in Cardiac Rehabili- tation was to come closer
to answering the questions posed in the fol- lowing pages, and to
make some opinions about cardiac rehabili- tation less
contoversial. To comment briefly on the interesting question of why
opinions in the field of cardiac rehabilitation seem more
controversial than in other fields of cardiology, we would like to
propose the following explanation: 1. Lack of personal experience
and lack of special training in cardiac rehabilitation are a major
source of misunderstandings and differ- ences of vocabulary between
cardiologists engaged in clinical practice and in rehabilitation.
2. Emotional problems in accepting a new kind of partnership
between coronary patients and their physicians and a "nihilistic
attitude" towards therapy of behaviour play an important role in
the scepti- cism of cardiologists. 3. Fear of an expensive
"overmedication" (I. Illich) is another argu- ment concerning
rehabilitation.
