Life

Clemens de Boor was born as the son of Lisa de Boor in Kirchhain. He had two older siblings. In 1923 the family moved to Marburg and Clemens de Boor attended elementary school there for four years and then the humanistic grammar school . In 1938 he passed the school leaving examination. He began practical training for the planned pharmacy course, but was called up for military service right at the start of the war in September 1939. Until 1942 he was active in the Luftwaffe as a direction finder. In 1942 he was granted a one-semester study leave, which Clemens de Boor used to begin studying medicine at the University of Marburg. A year later he was accepted into the medical service, he continued to study as a soldier in Marburg and Greifswald and in March 1945 passed the physics course. After the end of the war he was actively involved in rebuilding university life in Marburg. In 1949 he passed the medical state examination in Marburg and received his doctorate a few years later with a thesis on "local anesthesia as a diagnostic and therapeutic measure". Clemens de Boor was made aware of Viktor von Weizsäcker by his sister Ursula de Boor . Neurological and functional diseases in medicine were of particular interest to Clemens de Boor and the desire arose to be able to work for Viktor von Weizsäcker in Heidelberg . After six months as a medical intern in Marburg at the 2nd Medical Clinic, de Boor became a medical and volunteer assistant at the Medical Clinic in Heidelberg. In 1950 de Boor completed his training as a psychoanalyst, which was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation . In 1954 he moved to the Psychosomatic University Clinic in Heidelberg to join Alexander Mitscherlich . In 1961 and 1962, Clemens de Boor stayed in Amsterdam, where he trained as a training analyst at the “Psychoanalytical Institute” and at the “Wilhelmina Gasthuis”. On February 13, 1964, Clemens de Boor received the Venia legendi for Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychoanalysis at the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University. On December 21, 1966, senior physician Clemens de Boor was appointed professor and scientific member at the Sigmund Freud Institute in Frankfurt am Main. In March 1967 the professorship was officially conferred by Georg August Zinn . Clemens de Boor was together with Margarete Mitscherlich supervisor of Peter Kutter (1930-2014) during his training as a training analyst at the Sigmund Freud Institute. From 1970 to 1972 Clemens de Boor was chairman of the German Society for Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Depth Psychology.

Clemens de Boor was married to Gisela geb. Klüsener. The marriage resulted in two daughters.

Clemens de Boor is an honorary member of the Sigmund Freud Foundation for the Promotion of Psychoanalysis.

Commitment to the emerging nursing science

Clemens de Boor taught "Psychosomatic Medicine" at the nursing school of the University of Heidelberg (USH). On the “ Naunyn ” ward in the Ludolf von Krehl Clinic (Medical Clinic) in Heidelberg, Clemens de Boor met the young USH nurse student Antje Grauhan (1940–2010) and aroused her interest in psychosomatics. In the years that followed, Antje Grauhan gave the nursing science emerging in Germany important psychosomatic impulses. Clemens de Boor and Antje Grauhan had been friends since then. Clemens de Boor also dealt with the basics of psychiatric nursing and developed the beginnings of a nursing theory for psychosomatic nursing. De Boor used the understanding of illness of the psychoanalyst Franz Alexander (1891–1964) for his reflections on psychosomatic care. Alexander distinguished symbolic illnesses from those in which chronic, unresolved emotional conflicts lead to permanent overloading of an organ function. The job of the nurse, so de Boor in his nursing theory, is to acquire as much knowledge as possible and to try to listen to the patient and to observe him. In addition, it is important to observe one's own emotions as carefully as possible, because these are often a response to the patient's behavior. The observations made and thoughts on the behavior of the patient should be communicated to the doctor in order to contribute to the common interpretation of the illness. The interpretation helps the patient that his unconscious soul life, which is effective in the body symptom, can in turn become the conscious content of experience.
