Treatment Concept
Section titled “Treatment Concept”Therapy Methods
Section titled “Therapy Methods”The primary approach is depth psychology-based individual and group therapy. Behavioral therapy approaches are integrated where this enhances the effectiveness of treatment.

- Art therapy
- Experience-oriented interactional groups

In this way, impulses and stimuli from many directions work together, serving to improve self-perception and enabling trial action on various levels.
Ward Concept
Section titled “Ward Concept”It is important that patients live together in manageable relational spaces with consistent contact persons. This is achieved through the ward division with a maximum of 18 treatment places, where patients:
- Share their group therapies
- Eat together
- Share the same common rooms
Treatment of Borderline Disorders
Section titled “Treatment of Borderline Disorders”Integrative Concept
Section titled “Integrative Concept”It has proven helpful in the department to integrate those affected into existing groups (rather than creating a special “borderline corner”). The specific relationship problems become very quickly apparent, particularly in communal living.
The clinic then tries to enable those affected to work through these issues within the context of the group. Trusted individuals provide the necessary stability and help to gradually overcome absolute viewpoints that determine feelings and actions.
Therapy Goal
Section titled “Therapy Goal”The goal is to bring both sides — into which the world splits in the case of splitting (such as good/evil, present/absent) — into contact with each other, to enable integration and constancy in relationships.
Dealing with Symptoms
Section titled “Dealing with Symptoms”Therapy is often characterized by intense emotional fluctuations and impulses of those affected, possibly including self-harm tendencies. Therapy contracts are used here, which are individually negotiated and discussed with the patients to set protective boundaries.
Eating Disorders
Section titled “Eating Disorders”Where eating disorders are the primary concern, admission takes place on the eating disorders ward.
Treatment Duration
Section titled “Treatment Duration”Treatment duration is approximately 8 weeks, but can be extended if necessary.
Admission
Section titled “Admission”Since the clinic is included in the hospital needs plan, any physician can issue a referral.

Section titled “Process”- First, a brief medical report with diagnosis and short description of the presenting problem is needed
- This is sent to the admissions office
