Bloch is a TV series of the Südwestrundfunk and Westdeutscher Rundfunk . The 24 90-minute films were broadcast from 2002 to 2013 in loose sequence during prime time in the FilmMittwoch series on the Erste . Dieter Pfaff played the psychiatrist and psychotherapist Dr. Maximilian Bloch, who works in Cologne and Baden-Baden and tries to help his patients with the help of empathy , humor, cunning and detective instinct. Often his own complicated private life is strained and he is painfully confronted with himself.
production
The conception of the television series came from Peter Märthesheimer and Pea Fröhlich . Dieter Pfaff helped to develop the figure of the psychotherapist Bloch, in line with an earlier career aspiration. Some of the episodes were co-produced by the two broadcasters, SWR and WDR, while others were only produced by one of the broadcasters or the Baden-Baden subsidiary of SWR Maran Film .
In episodes 1-5, 7, 8, 11, 14 and 20, the film music was composed and played by Irmin Schmidt .
Each episode is preceded by the following text spoken by a child's voice:
“The soul is deep inside you - in the heart, sometimes you can feel it - at night when you are alone.
When the soul is sick, you go to the hospital or to the dermatologist, the soul weighs one and a half kilograms ... "
Psychiatric and psychotherapeutic work in series
Bloch restricts himself to a psychotherapeutic approach in the series. Psychiatric work, such as treatment with psychotropic drugs , is only mentioned in passing. In terms of content, Bloch occasionally refers to psychoanalysis as a treatment method; so patients lay down z. B. partially on a treatment couch. Despite all of the (very far-reaching) artistic freedoms of the series, one of the main concerns of psychoanalysis actually remains clearly recognizable, namely Bloch's struggle not only to record and eliminate the symptoms of his patients, but rather to relate them to life and life To see the biography of the patient and to understand its meaning as a cry for help from the soul, or to understand the unconscious conflict behind it; this - entirely in the psychoanalytic tradition - also with regard to z. B. Delusional symptoms.
