General Psychiatry

The general psychiatry department treats adults with mental illness in cases in which the need of stationary care exists. In the department of general psychiatry the internal differentiation principal has been consistently implemented. The department has several stations where treatments differ in various therapeutic areas depending on the center of gravity this way all patients receive a modern, comprehensive and targeted therapy. The treatment is divided in three phases: reception, treatment and discharge. In the reception phase the focus is on the diagnosis, and the planning of the treatment. In the treatment phase focus is on the implementation of the whole treatment plan while in the discharge phase the planning of the time after the stay is planned. The therapeutic range is diverse. At each station are held individual talks and group therapies. Motion, occupational and artistic therapies are offered. There is a separate center for “competence integration” which offers aids for professional integration. Social problems are addressed together with the social services. The goal of treatment is not only to overcome the disease, but also to ensure an active coping behavior and adequate and satisfactory social integration.

The department has also stations for the treatment of depressively ill people. The focus of the station is primarily on a solution-oriented approach, making use of individual abilities. Coping strategies are developed and actively used. The approach to the patient is characterized by acceptance, appreciation and authenticity of its employees. The therapeutic staff has specialized expertise, receives ongoing training which guarantee the actuality of knowledge and the promotion of different skills. The therapeutic concepts are based on three main pillars: psychotherapeutic individual meetings, group therapies (both in the form of discussion groups as well as occupational or physical therapy groups) and medication treatment fi necessary. During the treatment the individual issues and stress sources are defined, patient related solution and strategies are developed and ultimately for the dismissal of the patients a sufficiently long-term plan is set up in order to achieve a sustained improvement and stabilization of the condition.

Integrative Psychiatry and psychotherapy

The department provides ambulatory or day care for people in need, this way the patients are able to stay in familiar surroundings while they receive a holistic treatment. In the day care center all mental illnesses except primary addictions are treated. Even very severely affected patients are taken, unless there is an immediate danger of suicide or an organic disease that makes hospitalization necessary. A day clinic treatment always comes into consideration if an outpatient treatment is not enough, but a full in-patient treatment is not necessary.

As a target group, the treatment program is designed for people who require acute psychiatric-psychotherapeutic treatment because of their mental disorder and/or by an over demanding life situation. There are mainly depressions and anxiety disorders treated, but the center also deals with obsessive-compulsive disorder, personality disorders and psychoses.

From Monday to Friday between 8.00-16.00 o’clock, the patients are treated in the outpatient clinic. In the remaining time they live as usual in their normal environment. This makes them keep their social relations and activities while receiving treatment.

Gerontopsychiatry

In the Division of Gerontopsychiatry all mental illnesses of old age (> 60 years) are treated with specialized therapies. This is especially true for dementia with need for treatment in connection with disturbances of behavior and experience.

Other emphasis of the department is the treatment of mood disorders, such as Depression and anxiety disorders, disorders of the psychotic circle shape and dependency diseases when they occur in conjunction with mood disorders. Neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, or a seizure disorder, encephalomyelitis disseminata are also treated. The division is one of the largest gerontopsychiatric institutions from Germany. There is therefore an extensive experience in the detection and treatment of all neuropsychiatric-psychotherapeutic diseases of the old age.

The treatment sessions include individual and group sessions, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and many skilled nursing measures and complementary therapies. In addition, modern drug treatments and the electroconvulsive therapy therapy are maintained. On the whole, an integration of modern neuroscience-based, psychotherapeutic oriented and socially psychiatric approach is realized.

Addiction medicine and addiction-rehabilitation

The focal point of the department is the qualified withdrawal of the patients suffering from: alcohol, drug or sleeping pills and tranquilizers. Here, in addition to the medication treatment individual and group discussions, counseling services, information, sports and physical therapy, occupational therapy and other treatment methods are provided.
