Personality Disorders Therapists in Jena, Germany

A 'personality disorder' is a dreaded diagnosis for many. Partly due to the stigma it attracts, but also because this umbrella term encompasses a varied set of personal and interpersonal difficulties that are persistent (are not confined in set period of a person's life), problematic and pervasive (affect more than one area of life). I have an extensive experience working with individuals who either meet criteria for a personality disorder to experience some personality disorder traits. If you think this might be the case for you and would like to explore whether psychotherapy might be right for you, please get in touch.

The salutogenic concept of Positive Psychotherapy in the age of globalisation, taking into account stories, wisdom and humour. Proverbs, as well as mythological motifs, bring up the values and norms of a culture, they refer to certain patterns of thought that are characteristic of culture and capture them in tangible images. Their substructure can be interpreted psychoanalytically. In Positive Psychotherapy, founded by Prof. Dr Nossrat Peseschkian, a selected proverb is the starting point for exploring the client's particular ways of thinking. Positive Psychotherapy is based on three basic principles: 1st: The principle of hope: Positive Psychotherapy is based on a positive image of man. Each individual can transform his or her possibilities into abilities. 2: The principle of balance: health is a balancing act of various factors: When our body is tired and our senses are overexcited, exhaustion depression often occurs. The feeling of professional overload often leads to depressive pseudo-dementia, disturbances in the contact area cause social isolation, a lack of future planning produces fear of the future. 3rd: The principle of counselling: The counselling of the patient is divided into 5 stages: a.) The therapist observes the behaviour and thinking of the person seeking advice for half an hour, b.) the person seeking advice summarizes the events that have shaped his life in recent years, c.) the therapist discusses possible processing strategies with the person seeking advice, d.) the person seeking advice defines his goals for the next months, e.) the person seeking advice defines his or her further aims. While in the Orient the focus of life is more on the future and contacts, in the West we attach more importance to the physical side and our professional performance. Only if Orient and Occident learn from each other is it possible to keep human life and health in balance in the long run.

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.
