Marianne Leuzinger-Bohleber

Marianne Leuzinger-Bohleber (* 1947 in Glarus ) is a Swiss psychoanalyst .

Life

Leuzinger-Bohleber studied medicine, clinical psychology and German literature at the University of Zurich and in the USA. She received her doctorate in 1980 and has been working as a psychoanalyst ( Swiss Society for Psychoanalysis , German Psychoanalytical Association ) since 1981 . Since 1988 she has been teaching at the University of Kassel (University of Kassel since 2003), where she founded the Institute for Psychoanalysis in 1996, which she heads.

From 2002 to 2016, Leuzinger-Bohleber was managing director of the Sigmund Freud Institute in Frankfurt am Main . There she headed the focus on "basic research and clinical psychoanalysis" and was responsible for several large research projects in the field of psychotherapy research (LAC Depression Study) and early prevention (FIRST STEPS, EVA project: evaluation of two early prevention projects for children with difficult childhoods in Frankfurt day-care centers, MAKREKI: Mathematical creativity in children with difficult childhoods, KIGRU: transition project of children from kindergarten to elementary school). These projects were carried out as part of the IDeA center of the state offensive for the development of scientific and economic excellence (LOEWE). The DIPF ( German Institute for International Educational Research ), the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main and the Sigmund Freud Institute jointly support this interdisciplinary institute, at which around 120 scientists work on around 30 projects.

Marianne Leuzinger-Bohleber is Vice Chair of the Research Board of the International Psychoanalytical Association and Visiting Professor at University College London . She is a member of the Action Group for Neuropsychoanalysis and a member of the scientific advisory boards of various specialist publications on psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and neuroscience.

In addition to her scientific work, Leuzinger-Bohleber is involved in professional politics and occasionally writes on these topics, as in February 2020 in the Frankfurter Allgemeine under the title The Monopoly of Behavioral Therapy . Since 60 of the 61 professors for clinical psychology have a behavioral focus, it is to be feared that the new psychotherapist training will preferentially be shaped by behavioral therapists.
