Abstract
Competitive athletes tend to be well-adjusted, vigorous individuals who enjoy participating in the many opportunities that athletic life affords. Studies have shown this population to demonstrate less psychopathology than their nonathletic counterparts. The compulsive, goal-directed behavior typically seen in athletes may place them at special risk for the development of depression or chronic fatigue, however. This article outlines a rational approach to treating the athlete who presents with these diagnostically complex complaints. Verf.-Referat
