Child- and Adolescent Psychiatrist

Psychoanalytics

In Psychoanalysis symptoms are understood as being related to unconscious intrapsychic conflicts, that are brought to the surface within the therapeutic relationship. There are different forms of psychoanalytic treatment apt for adults, children and adolescents. Usually it takes one to three  sessions a week for a longer period.
For psychoanalysis proper a higher frequency over several years is necessary. (Developmental) age, the degree of suffering and life circumstances will be included in therapy planning. Younger children express their thoughts and feelings by free creative play, and the treatment is usually combined with separate parents appointments.
For psychoanalytic treatment of very young children, parents are seen together with their babies or toddlers for about 5 sessions  as developed in the Tavistock „under-five-counselling“ model
