Online in Jena, Thuringia
Jena is a Thuringian university city home to Friedrich Schiller University, one of Germany's historic research universities, and the birthplace of the Carl Zeiss optics company and SCHOTT AG—both still major local employers—giving the city a distinctive identity as both an elite academic and a high-technology industrial center that has navigated the profound economic transformation from East German planned economy to the unified Germany market economy. The psychological legacy of reunification—Ostalgie (nostalgia for the East), identity disruption, and the economic upheaval of the Wende—is present in the experiences of many older residents, while younger generations and international students bring a more globally oriented perspective. Mental health services are provided through public health structures, and a private therapy sector serves the university community and professional population. Common therapy concerns include identity and community belonging in a city navigating post-reunification change, student mental health at a demanding research university, anxiety, and the particular experiences of an East German city that has adapted more successfully than many of its neighbors but still carries the weight of transformation.
