DBT programme
Linehan's dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) was developed as a therapy programme for patients with emotionally unstable personality disorder of the borderline type. It has since been shown that, in addition to patients with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder, patients with other diagnoses such as addictions or trauma disorders, as well as other personality disorders and affective disorders, can also benefit very well from the elements of DBT.
Our clinic offers an inpatient DBT programme for acutely psychiatrically ill patients. The specific elements of the programme include mindfulness training, skills groups on stress tolerance and emotion regulation, individual psychotherapeutic sessions and care treatment. The programme can be completed in around 8 weeks, with the duration of treatment depending on the symptoms. Therefore, both shorter and sometimes longer stays are the rule.
Registration for the DBT treatment programme is carried out by the respective ward doctor. Please leave your telephone number for a callback via the patient registration desk at our clinic 0731 500-61490 .
In addition to the inpatient DBT programme, there is also the option of individual therapy with a DBT focus via the clinic's outpatient clinic and the AWIP. Patients can also take part in the clinic's outpatient skills groups (skills training after DBT). Participation is only possible with simultaneous outpatient individual therapy (also with therapists without DBT experience).
Personality disorders
Patients with personality disorders suffer from inflexible behaviour that deviates from the respective social norm. These usually occur rigidly in a wide variety of life situations. This can be, for example, excessively anxious-avoidant, compulsive or dependent behaviour, which often only leads to psychiatric presentation due to additional affective disorders such as depression or anxiety.
Particularly in the case of emotionally unstable personality disorder of the borderline type, frequent self-harm, suicidal thoughts or high-risk behaviour also lead to treatment.
Personality disorders as a concomitant illness are taken into account as part of psychotherapeutic treatment in an inpatient or outpatient setting using an individually created disorder model. We offer patients with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder a disorder-specific programme based on dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT).
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)/trauma-related disorders
Severely stressful life events such as accidents, experiences of violence or abuse lead to psychological complaints in the further course of many people's lives. If involuntary mental reliving of the threatening situation (flashbacks), strong emotional reactions to memories of the situation, constant alertness and emotional blunting play a role, this may indicate post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Less specific complaints that are clearly linked to traumatisation are referred to as trauma-related disorders. The treatment of trauma-related disorders is primarily psychotherapeutic. Pharmacotherapy can be useful to support depression or sleep disorders. We offer comprehensive diagnostics and counselling for PTSD, as well as psychotherapeutic stabilisation and trauma treatment, both in an inpatient setting and as part of outpatient treatment.
