About Medische psychologie | Gelre ziekenhuis Zutphen

Medical Psychology is a department of Gelre ziekenhuizen in Zutphen. The department provides psychological care when physical and psychological complaints affect each other.

Care and treatment

The department works with Psychiatry and offers, among other things, day treatment for persistent physical symptoms (ALK (Dutch term for persistent physical symptoms)). Care focuses on reducing or limiting complaints, learning to cope with remaining complaints and improving mental wellbeing.

• Day treatment for ALK
• EMDR
• Group treatment for ALK
• Cardiac rehabilitation

When the department can help

The psychological care provided by Gelre depends on the severity of the complaints and the extent to which physical and psychological complaints affect each other. For psychological complaints alone, Gelre refers patients to a mental health professional outside the hospital.
