The treatment offers of the SPA are manifold and are shortly described hereafter. You may download the complete range of offers including dates and conditions of admission!
Our personal care managers are flexible in terms of frequency, duration, kind and place of meeting. If necessary, we can include parents, partners, children. We integrate different psychotherapeutic approaches in order to be able to react adequately to each patient and phase of illness.
Early detection is of major importance, because it can help to reduce adverse consequences of the illness and avert or at least retard the onset of illness. We offer qualified but also cautious early detection, counsel you and your family on possible help and organise specialised first treatment within the Workgroup Psychoses.
Physical and mental diagnostics are essential treatment modules. In addition to physical diagnostics, we focus on mental diagnostics and offer various standardised psychological tests.
Group therapy is particularly helpful, because it combines the therapist's suggestions and the shared reflections from the group. We put particular emphasis on this. The SPA offers various psychotherapeutic groups for persons with recurrent or first psychosis, for persons with bipolar disorder, for persons hearing voices or patients with additional addiction.
Antipsychotic drugs are an optional part of treatment but not a condition. Upon request, we offer qualified pharmacotherapy or counselling. We closely collaborate with your practicing psychiatrist. If you decide to have pharmacotherapy at the SPA, our doctors prescribe the medication and are also responsible for the monitoring of effects and side effects.
For some people, organising a meal or spending the afternoon in company is a major challenge. Our open meetings are places where you can get together and communicate with other people. You are welcome to come without appointment.
Not only our feelings but also our thoughts can be "hooked" in certain patterns that impede or block further development. The "metacognitive training" (=thinking about thinking) is a playful approach to detect and dissolve such thought traps together with like-minded people and under therapeutic guidance.
The art therapeutic approach or Gestalt therapy is an independent psychotherapeutic method based on the basic assumptions of depth psychology or psychoanalysis. The SPA offers various creative groups and groups of art therapy including individual art therapy.
All kinesiotherapeutic procedures share the assumption that movement initiates general activation. This is meant to produce positive changes of behaviour and physical functioning. The SPA offers exercice, relaxation, yoga, meditation, dance therapy, fitness groups or acupuncture.
Information about psychosis, depression and mania will be provided mainly by the personal care manager and within the psychotherapeutic groups (in particular groups for psychosis patients and groups for bipolar patients). We are interested in an exchange of how you name and explain your illness, what are the fears and hopes you connect with your illness.
Many people suffering from a psychosis need help in various social fields. The SPA offers help and social support concerning housing, finances, training/school, profession etc. Moreover, the SPA offers strongly encourage social contacts and participation in social life.
In a self-contained project, we offer practical and psychotherapeutical help especially with respect to study matters and all related steps, decisions and problems.
Mental crises concern both the individual person and his environment. We set great importance on the treatment integration of those close to you, in order to find common answers. We welcome partners, parents, children, that is people important to you.
They have questions, perhaps feel guilty and also suffer from this new or perhaps long lasting situation. In the relatives group, they receive counselling and support by equally affected persons and professionals
