The German Academy for Psychoanalysis (DAP) e. V. (also Berlin School of Dynamic Psychiatry ) was founded on December 14, 1969 in Berlin and is dedicated to training, research and therapy based on the dynamic psychiatry and human-structural psychoanalysis developed by Günter Ammon (1918–1995) . According to the Psychotherapists Act , the training entitles you to apply for a license to practice as a psychological psychotherapist . The two current teaching and research institutes (LFI) of the DAP are located in Berlin and Munich. The DAP reached its greatest institutional expansion in the early 1980s. The founder Günter Ammon shaped the DAP technically and organizationally significantly. The chairwoman of the DAP (as of 2020) is Maria Ammon .

The history of the DAP was accompanied by internal and external conflicts up to the turn of the millennium and the recognition of the teaching institutes as state training centers within the framework of the Psychotherapists Act 1999 . From the end of the 1970s to the 1990s, arguments with Ammon and the DAP took place in the media and in courts.

history

The time up to the foundation in 1968

Psychoanalysis in post-war Berlin (1945 to 1950)

In 1945 the German Psychoanalytical Society (DPG) was re-established and the German psychoanalyst Carl Müller-Braunschweig was elected its first chairman. Technical and personal differences between Carl Müller-Braunschweig, who represented the position of Freud's psychoanalysis , and the German psychoanalyst Harald Schultz-Hencke , the representative of neo - psychoanalysis , led to the institutional split from the DPG. In 1950, Carl Müller-Braunschweig and five like-minded people founded the German Psychoanalytic Association (DPV) and was elected its first chairman.

Ammon becomes a psychoanalyst and founded (1952 to 1969)

The German psychiatrist Günter Ammon began his training as a psychoanalyst at the DPV in 1952 and underwent a Freudian training analysis with Carl Müller-Braunschweig. After graduating, he went to the USA in 1956 and worked for the Menninger Foundation in Topeka. His teachers were Karl Menninger and Ishak Ramzy, with whom he underwent a second, self-psychologically oriented training analysis. Ammon later referred mainly to this training.

The Günter Ammon era (until 1995)

Foundation of DGG, DAP and teaching institutes

After emigrating to the USA in 1956, Ammon returned to Germany in 1965, unlike psychoanalysts who had emigrated before 1945, and worked at the psychotherapeutic advice center for students at the Free University of Berlin , ran a private practice for psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, and was a training analyst for the DPV . In 1968 he founded the teaching and research institute for dynamic psychiatry and group dynamics in Berlin and in May 1969 the German Group Psychotherapeutic Society (DGG), which met in July 1969 in the Audimax of the Free University of Berlin with lectures by Ammon and the psychoanalyst who emigrated to the USA in 1936 Martin Grotjahn introduced.

The German Academy for Psychoanalysis (DAP) was then founded on December 14, 1969 on the basis of scientific, therapeutic and training-relevant delimitation and redefinition of existing psychoanalytic institutions. The founding appeal stated that the goal was to organize “psychoanalytic work in associations which are able to analyze themselves and which, like the DPV, do not perpetuate the Victorian development of psychoanalysis in the guise of association bureaucracy, and thus its further development prevent our science. ”An essential founding impulse was the establishment of a psychoanalytic approach in the treatment of severely disturbed patients.

At the institutional level the first conflicts arose when the DPV suspected a fundamental violation of its purposes and interests in the founding of a group psychotherapeutic society by one of its members. She therefore requested an examination in the context of an oral hearing, which however did not take place because Ammon left the DPV. The German psychologist and psychoanalyst Wolfgang Schmidbauer interprets the break on the basis of the correspondence between Ammon and Helmut Thomä , the then chairman of the DPV, and concludes from this that Ammon made it easy for his opponents in the DPV to get rid of him through his sensitivity to criticism. His reply is a typical example of his rhetoric. With his resignation he made it possible for the DPV to get rid of their “uncomfortable training analyst” without a formal exclusion procedure, in which the DPV should have justified “why Ammon was unsustainable”. Conversely, Ammon lost something, according to Schmidbauer, "what a fateful profession that stimulates omnipotence fantasies like that of the (group) analyst: the group of colleagues who, as equals, stabilize the relationship to reality."

Schmidbauer suspects that this development was only possible in Germany. “Ammon initially had strong support from a group of emigrated analysts who (like him) had found a new home in the USA and were critical of their old homeland. Conversely, the DPV, still uncertain of its validity in the international association, had to carefully avoid any appearance of not being too specific. By going to the USA and completing a second psychoanalytic training there, Ammon expressed a problem of self-esteem for German psychoanalysts, tried to overcome it and ultimately failed because of his missionary claim to be celebrated like a savior on his return. "

The journal Psyche , a publication organ related to the DPV, informed the German Group Psychotherapeutic Society in writing that it no longer wanted any orders for advertisements or inserts. The weekly newspaper Die Zeit reported on this a few months later, both the magazine Psyche and the DAP's publication organ, the magazine Dynamische Psychiatrie , reacted in their own editions - Die Zeit had not printed both letters to the editor - with corrections.

Second institute in Munich and disputes (1973 to 1975)

The second teaching and research institute (LFI) was founded in Munich on January 28, 1973 by members of the Berlin LFI as well as by doctors, psychologists and trained psychoanalysts from Munich. Some of the founding members were attracted by Ammon's publications, his involvement in the student movement and the approaches to treating severely disturbed patients; others, such as Wolfgang Schmidbauer, shared with Ammon and the DAP an interest in group psychotherapy and a desire to reform psychoanalytic training.

At the end of 1973 there were four psychoanalytic institutes in Munich with different theoretical orientations and concepts. Three were founded between 1971 and 1973.

In the LFI in Munich, a larger group - including the director and Schmidbauer - separated from Ammon and the DAP in the autumn of the year it was founded. In addition to conflicts with Ammon (see section Controversies ), other aspects also played a role. Schmidbauer says, “It was certainly a relief to give up the claim to size, that one could create a brand new psychoanalytic identity and offer a training concept that overcomes the disadvantages of tradition without negotiating new downsides. On the other hand, over-adapting to external norms in order to please the DGPT, the Medical Association , the Federal Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians [...] was also not a solution. ”On the problem of institutional recognition, he continues:“ The psychoanalysts, in Germany from two professional associations and one The umbrella organization represented (DPG, DPV and DGPT) stayed at a distance [like the group psychotherapists]. Ammons well-known remedy to compensate for a lack of involvement in existing organizations through hectic production of our own associations and academies, was against us due to the experiences made. ”The training institute, which Schmidbauer co-founded in 1974, received recognition from the DGPT in 1991.

Between the DAP and the German Society for Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Depth Psychology (DGPT) e. V., the umbrella organization of psychoanalytic and depth psychological organizations, differences arose in 1975. The DAP was of the opinion that it was exposed to a defamation campaign by the DGPT. The statement signed by the DGPT's legal advisor on the achievements of Ammon and the DAP, according to the executive secretary and the management of the DAP, "is teeming with untruths, negligent allegations and, in its heretic way, recalls disputes of scientific directions that took place in the Middle Ages." It further said that it was easy to prove the originality of the further development of psychoanalysis carried out by Ammon, and that if one dismissed Ammon’s writings as popular science, one would have to do the same with all of Freud’s writings . Accusing the DAP institutes of the fact that their training staff are relatively young is one of the unfair methods of power politics of the DGPT. The training of the DAP is still not recognized by the DGPT.

Psychiatry reform and social context

Approaches to reform in psychiatry gained in importance during the social-liberal coalition and a “boom in discourse on the abnormal”. A connection between psychiatry reform and the student movement is also seen. The DAP also addressed many interested parties from the student movement .

The group psychotherapeutic approach represented in the DAP was hardly widespread in psychoanalysis at the end of the 1960s. Another self-image was the therapeutic help for psychiatrically ill people, who were mostly only treated with medication and were inadequately housed. That psychiatric care had serious deficiencies was also officially established in 1975 with the psychiatry inquiry . The DAP attracted people who wanted to improve the treatment options for these patients.

Schmidbauer sees the following relationship between the student movement and Ammon: “It was not only Ammon who inspired a student audience, but the organizational hopes of the student movement also shaped himself and led to the fact that the psychiatrist functioning in Topeka was perfectly adapted to the perspective of the beholder became a psychoanalytic revolutionary or a sectarian who increasingly replaced the persuasiveness of his progressive, psychiatric reform ideas with a personality cult. "

He also comes to the following assessment: Ammon had attracted many young psychologists and doctors, but also some trained psychoanalysts, because he was trained in classical psychoanalysis, had international experience and was open to reforms. However, it could not have been foreseen how much he would take on himself to want to achieve a “dynamic” opening of German psychiatry “practically single-handedly” and to build up his own, completely redesigned psychoanalytic training.

Expansion and decline (1975 to 1985)

The expansion phase of the DAP began in the mid-1970s. In addition to the existing institutes in Berlin and Munich, further institutes were founded in Frankfurt am Main, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Cologne, Freiburg and Mainz. The psychoanalytic kindergartens were also expanded. They were initially created as a care option for the children of patients and employees during therapy or working hours. A research project for preventive and therapeutic work developed from this. At the beginning of the 1980s, the DAP reached its greatest institutional expansion. In 1985 there were only the two oldest institutes in Berlin and Munich.

Former employees started their first lawsuits at the end of the 1970s (see section on controversies ). In an interview in 1985, Ammon said that the DAP, like the FRG, had been drawn into the economic crisis and, like other medium-sized companies, had a decline in membership and was no longer receiving any significant donations. As in the SPD, there would also be tensions, subgroups and wars about direction in the DAP. Therefore the organizational structures had to be tightened and people who could not cope with difficult tasks or were unable to deal with power and influence had to be relieved, voted out or excluded.

Former employees such as the German doctor and psychoanalyst Mathias Hirsch, who was excluded because of his minutes of a leader's meeting in preparation for a closed meeting, also reported on personnel and organizational changes: “The minutes document a sad reality of dependency and leader-centeredness. On a deeper level of communication, however, it worked as a cannon blow, as a boomerang: It was ultimately the trigger that Ammon threw me out of the closed conference, the Freiburg management and the work at the Düsseldorf Institute. Because anyone who writes down and reproduces Ammon's anger (“If that falls into our enemies' hands!”) Accepts Ammon's insults as reality. ”Mathias Hirsch comments on the printed protocol:“ This protocol cannot remotely describe the mood, the torment and reflect the energy expended by everyone involved - consider the session lasted seven hours. It is also not clear to me how far an outsider can empathize with this paradigm of the paranoid exercise of power by a single person and its mechanisms. [...] Concerning the closed conference, I still have to add: of a total of 17 leaders (with the leaders of the children's groups), eleven were sent home in the course of the closed conference or were dismissed entirely from their work or training. Incidentally, a severe blow for the many patients who lost their therapists without it being possible to deal with the separation. "

In December 1985 there was a large-scale police operation with a search of the Menterschwaige clinic, the therapeutic residential communities and the teaching institutes under the suspicion, which later turned out to be false, that the clinic was supporting terrorist targets. The problems that followed threatened the existence of the clinic.

Günter Ammon fell ill in 1988 and died in 1995.

There are also former DAP employees who have left the academy and work in their own practice based heavily on Ammon's concepts, such as the Düsseldorf psychologist Andreas von Wallenberg Pachaly.

1995 until today

With the Psychotherapists Act 1999 , the two teaching institutes of the DAP in Munich and Berlin became state-recognized training institutes, which led to an opening with the acquisition of new lecturers and supervisors as well as to a diversification of theoretical training. As a result of the requirements of state training, the groups were less important for training. Both institutes are training centers for doctors and also credit training periods from other recognized institutes. It is also possible to choose a training analyst or therapist or supervisor from another institute, provided that the latter enters into an association agreement with the institute and is willing to cooperate. From the institutes of the DAP this is seen as an opening towards other theories and approaches and also as an enrichment. In this respect, the isolation of the German Academy for Psychoanalysis now seems to come more from the outside and is due to historical experience, without being based on a currently actually controversial discourse.

Lecturers or teaching therapists from the German Academy for Psychoanalysis are now working in parallel, at least as guest lecturers, at other teaching institutes, e.g. B. the training institute of the Sigmund Freud University in Berlin and the VFKV and LPM in Munich.

theory

The terms dynamic psychiatry and human-structural psychoanalysis play an important role in the theoretical framework of the DAP . The term dynamic psychiatry comes from the USA and describes the connection between psychoanalysis and psychiatry. The American Academy of Psychodynamic Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis (AAPDPP) there represents psychodynamic-psychoanalytic thinking on a broad basis in clinical-psychiatric practice. The term human structural psychoanalysis was coined by Günter Ammon and is intended to describe a holistic, integrative and structural understanding of personality.

The Günter Ammon era (until 1995)

Dynamic psychiatry aims to make psychoanalysis useful for psychiatric science and treatment. Human structural psychoanalysis emphasizes the importance of social group experiences and constructive aggression . Dynamic psychiatry sees itself as a combination of psychoanalysis and psychiatry and has been developed from interpersonal psychiatry . Two volumes of the Handbook for Dynamic Psychiatry document this process. In the foreword to the first volume, Ammon wrote in 1979 that it was a first systematization of teaching. The following words introduce the second volume in 1982: “After a three-year break, the second volume of our manual, which has already been expected by many people in East and West, appears. In this book, the further development of our movement in Europe and the world takes place in the meantime. ”The third volume, announced for autumn 1984, did not appear, the planned table of contents can be read in the second volume.

The human structural psychoanalysis, such as B. the "analytical psychology" formulated by CG Jung or the Kleinian models z. B. von Bion , differs from the classical psychoanalytic theory founded by Sigmund Freud . In the mid-1970s, Ammon formulated the personality model as a human structure model. The topographical model of id , ego and superego in classical psychoanalysis, formulated by Freud, is replaced by the ego structure model with the primary biological, the central, unconsciously effective and the secondary, predominantly human behavior and activity replaced. The doctrine of aggression is redrafted with the concept of constructive aggression. The drive model of classical psychoanalysis is replaced by the model of social energy . Social energy is the psychological energy from the group that is necessary for the development of the individual. Pathogenic experiences in relationships between the child and the mother in the first few years of life are known as the symbiosis complex. At the same time, Ammon remains connected to terms such as the unconscious or defense and thus the basics of psychoanalysis .

“A person can get healthy in groups, but they can also get sick,” is a basic idea of ​​dynamic psychiatry. Therefore, group psychotherapy and milieu therapy are particularly important. In the range of therapeutic treatments, not only verbal but also non-verbal therapy methods are used. From the mid-1980s, the range of treatments on offer was expanded to include human-structural dance.

Dynamic psychiatry is not related to the dynamic psychotherapy developed by Annemarie Dührssen .

The school founded by Ammon is currently not being used in psychoanalysis. In the 1970s, Ammons books were accepted by renowned publishers (e.g. Dynamic Psychiatry at Luchterhand; Handbuch der Dynamic Psychiatrie, Ernst Reinhardt Verlag). Some works have been translated into other languages ​​(English, Italian, Japanese). The decline in reception may have to do with the advancement of Ammon's theories and its increasing distance from the mainstream.

1995 until today

Already beginning before 1995, but especially afterwards, concepts of psychoanalytic theater therapy were worked out and implemented by the psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Ingeborg Ursprunguch. The psychological psychotherapist and psychoanalyst Gertraud Reitz differentiated aspects of human-structural dance therapy. U. Winkelmann and his colleagues took up the concept of constructive aggression. Essential aspects of scientific and journalistic processing were also based on resource orientation, e.g. B. also in schizophrenic people and borderline patients. Today's head of the institute, Margit Schmolke, devoted himself to working out the recovery concept and the person centered-ness . Aspects of psychoanalytic organizational dynamics and supervision were taken up as well as the application of completely different theoretical modules, such as B. those of WR Bion for understanding language comprehension disorders or processes in the Balint group. Group dynamic processes in therapy groups, in the psychoanalytic kindergarten as well as in the therapeutic residential communities were worked out theoretically, also with thematic booklets in the journal Dynamic Psychiatrie. Egon Fabian devoted himself to humor in therapy and, during his time as chief physician at the Menterschwaige Clinic at the Sigmund Freud University in Vienna, did his habilitation and worked particularly on the subject of fear. The special features of borderline therapy at the Menterschwaige Clinic were compared to other approaches in an anthology. Overall, the publications by lecturers and employees of the institutes showed a spectrum that went far beyond the original concept of Günter Ammon and an astonishing diversity of opinion.

The formation of theories has opened up to new developments since Ammon's death in 1995, so that long-term members of the DAP are now even speaking of a partial abandonment of Günter Ammon's legacy.

The concept of simultaneous group and individual therapy already advocated by Ammon became part of the standard medical care for psychotherapy in 2015.

Organizational framework

Association headquarters and status

The DAP was recognized as a non-profit organization on February 7, 1978 . The seat of the association was moved from Berlin to Munich on July 5, 1980.

Since 1999, the two institutes have been state-approved training centers for psychological psychotherapists in accordance with the Psychotherapists Act . The press spokesman for the government of Upper Bavaria , which was responsible for the recognition of the Munich Institute, stated in an interview in 2001: “When the DAP was recognized as a training facility, all legal requirements were met and have also been verified. Therefore, there was a legal right to recognition. Therefore any past of the DAP could not play a role because it is not provided for by law. ”The Berlin Medical Association rejected several applications for admission to advanced training as a medical psychotherapist under the Psychotherapists Act. In 2006, approval as a training center for doctors in the field of psychotherapy was granted by the Berlin Medical Association.

The Munich teaching and research institute has been a member of the German Society for Depth Psychological Psychotherapy (DFT) since 2019 and has therefore joined an umbrella association of psychodynamic training institutes outside the DAP.

President

The first chairmanship is characterized by continuity of personnel. Ammon was president from the founding to January 1985 and from September 1985 to 1994. His brief resignation declared that he wanted to serve the Spirit entirely. The younger people of the movement and its students were not able to take over the organization; they could not have done this because of their training in Europe.

Ammon shaped the DAP technically and organizationally significantly. In 1988, I. Burbiel expressed this solidarity in the welcoming, introductory words to his 70th birthday speech: “It is a great honor and makes me very happy to be here on behalf of all of you who are close to Dr. Ammon live, work and think, to give a speech on the birthday of our revered and beloved Ammon , our President and friend, our teacher, the developer and creator of a conception of people and life that has been captured in school and in the movement of humanistic dynamic psychiatry are."

Ammon's theoretical and therapeutic work is still significant for the DAP today. The management of the Menterschwaige Dynamic Psychiatric Clinic, which belongs to the DAP, pays tribute to him: “When you met Ammon, you met a conceptually planning, energetic, forward-thinking person who worked with great seriousness, but also playfulness and humor. Ammon has always oriented his entire work on people who have corrected and expanded the importance and practical relevance of his scientific conception. "

Günter Ammon's second wife has been the German psychologist and psychoanalyst Maria Ammon , President of the DAP, since 1994 . In the meantime, she has handed over the position she has held as therapeutic director of the dynamic psychiatric clinic Menterschwaige to Nataly Hoffmann since 1987. After graduating from the DAP in 1989, she obtained her qualification as a psychoanalyst.

magazine

The journal Dynamische Psychiatrie, published since 1968 . International journal for psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and psychiatry / Dynamic Psychiatry. International Journal for Psychotherapy, Psychoanalysis, and Psychiatry acts as the official publication organ of the DAP, the DGG and the Menterschwaige Clinic as well as the psychoanalytical kindergarten. The editor was Ammon from 1968 to 1995, and Maria Ammon has been the editor since 1995. Print run: 450. A digital archive of the journal Dynamic Psychiatrie is available for the years 1968 to 2016.

In the first issue of the magazine, Ammon defines the goals: “It seems to me the most urgent task of dynamic psychiatry in Germany to dedicate itself to psychiatric training in the sense of William Menninger's saying“ Brains before bricks ”. We can draw upon and benefit from the experience of psychiatry in the United States over the past 50 years. The German psychoanalyst Alexander Mitscherlich has long criticized the situation of German psychiatry and its current state of experience and training, which is completely inadequate from a psychotherapeutic point of view. The task of the new journal Dynamic Psychiatry should also be to help eliminate the shortcomings. The magazine [...] consciously begins with a staff of employees, in whose thinking, feeling and working dynamic psychiatry has long been a matter of course. Although there are scientists of rank and influence among them, younger colleagues who are involved in research and therapy should also have their say here. "

In the journal Dynamic Psychiatry, especially from the year 2000 onwards, numerous authors who do not belong to the group of dynamic psychiatry in the narrower sense, such as B. Peter Joraschky , Hermes Kick , Klaus Grossmann , Juan Mezzich , Spyridon Koutroufinis , Raymond Battegay and Klaus Oehler , which shows an opening towards other teaching directions.

The magazine Dynamische Psychiatrie has been published by Mattes-Verlag, Heidelberg, since 2017.

Institutions and associated associations

The two teaching and research institutes are located in Berlin and Munich. The DAP and its environment also include the following institutions:

  • the German Group Psychotherapeutic Society (DGG), founded in May 1969 . V. (based in Munich since 1980)
  • the Purzelbaum Psychoanalytical Kindergarten founded in Munich in 1973 under the sponsorship of the DGG. The integration kindergarten is officially recognized
  • the German Society for Psychosomatic Medicine (DGPM) founded in June 1973 . V. (based in Munich)
  • the World Association for Dynamic Psychiatry (WADP) founded in 1980 (based in Bern). The WADP has branch associations in various countries.
  • the sponsoring association for independent and therapeutic residential communities of the dynamic psychiatry e. V. (based in Munich)
  • three psychotherapeutic residential communities in Munich, which are maintained by the above-mentioned sponsoring association; the supervised shared apartment was converted into a therapeutic flat share
  • the Pinel publishing house for humanistic psychiatry and philosophy GmbH, meanwhile dissolved
  • Since 1967 there has been a property in Paestum, southern Italy , which was expanded into the Casa Ammon conference center in the following years - also as part of milieu therapy . The facility in Paestum is used for scientific symposia, group dynamic self-awareness conferences and milieu therapies with patients from the Menterschwaige Dynamic Psychiatric Clinic.

The first dynamic psychiatric clinic existed from 1975 to 1979 in Munich Obermenzing , which was replaced by the Dynamic Psychiatric Clinic Menterschwaige GmbH, which opened in the Menterschwaige district of Munich . The clinic with 56 beds works according to the concept of dynamic psychiatry and has been included in the hospital requirements planning of the Free State of Bavaria.

The Menterschwaige Clinic has been ISO 9001 certified since August 2008 . The current chief physician is Daniel Hermelink. Former chief physicians were Egon Fabian and previously Rolf Schmidts.

Some teaching therapists at the German Academy for Psychoanalysis are accredited by the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians as experts in the application process for approval of standard benefit psychotherapy by the statutory health insurance companies.

Former institutions

In the following cities there were further teaching and research institutes until the mid-1980s at the latest:

  • Frankfurt am Main, founded on December 1, 1974
  • Düsseldorf, founded on January 18, 1975
  • Hamburg, founded on October 1st, 1978
  • Cologne, founded on February 15, 1980
  • Freiburg, founded on March 15, 1980
  • Mainz, founded in the early 1980s

In 1978 the 10th anniversary of the psychoanalytic kindergarten in Berlin was celebrated with a group dynamic weekend conference. In addition to the first kindergarten in Berlin, there were other kindergartens in Munich, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Erlangen and Stuttgart in 1978. The psychoanalyst Gisela Ammon, Ammon's first wife, was instrumental in the conception and expansion of the psychoanalytic kindergartens. The psychoanalytic kindergarten aims at an early evaluation of group dynamics, psychodynamics and the development of ego structures and ego functions within the family. Since the closure of the Berlin kindergarten in 1991, there has only been the Purzelbaum psychoanalytic kindergarten in Munich.

The content of dynamic psychiatry should be developed in the DAP university groups. The contact persons of the university groups studied in 1979 at the TU Berlin, the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg, the Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, the University Hamburg, the University Heidelberg, the University of Cologne, the Johann-Gutenberg-University Mainz, the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, the University of Regensburg and the University of Stuttgart.

From the late 1960s to the mid-1980s at the latest, the DAP included a day clinic for intensive group psychotherapy near Passau.

Scientific collaboration

In 1980 the World Association for Dynamic Psychiatry (WADP) was founded and Ammon was elected President, which he remained until his death in 1995. The DAP and the WADP have been organizing international congresses in various European cities since 1982.

The DAP oriented itself towards Eastern Europe at an early stage. She had been in contact with scientists from the Soviet Union since at least the mid-1970s. In the 1990s, contracts were signed with Russian institutions.

At the world congress of the World Psychiatric Association in Vienna in 1983, there was a debate in the media among psychiatric associations about how Soviet psychiatrists deal with political dissidents . Ammon (as president of the WADP) and the German psychologist and psychoanalyst Ilse Burbiel (as press officer of the WADP) spoke out against the “politicized press campaign” in a statement in the magazine Dynamische Psychiatrie . Its aim was to have the Soviet psychiatrists publicly condemned by congress participants for treating political dissidents with psychiatric methods. The Soviet Union and other socialist states have therefore left the World Psychiatric Association. The WADP sees communication and collaboration between psychiatrists from different political systems as essential for the further development of its organization. She is therefore committed to fruitful cooperation and friendship between psychiatrists from different countries and wants to create good contact and friendship instead of mistrust and suspicion. The psychiatric associations should stop political activities and restore good relationships. In addition to voices who took a similar position, others such as Harold M. Visotsky, the chairman of the international committee of the American Psychiatric Association on the subject of Abuse of Psychiatry and Psychiatrists , expressed the opposite: "We can't have a scientific body without ethics."

The long-standing scientific contacts with the psychoneurological institute WM Bechterew (Russian: Психоневрологический институт им. В. М. Бехтерева) in St. Petersburg were contractually strengthened in 1990 with the scientific and clinical cooperation in the field of psychosis therapy. In 1996 the DAP concluded a cooperation agreement with the State Scientific Center for Social and Forensic Psychiatry WP Serbski in Moscow. The agreement includes the further development of the Russian version of the Ammon's ego structure test (together with the Bechterew Institute), the exchange of scientists and support for the establishment of dynamic psychiatric structured facilities in psychiatric clinics in Russia.

In April 1999 the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation expressed its special thanks to the Federal Minister of Health , Andrea Fischer , of the DAP for the initiative in training Russian specialists. Russia is currently unable to do this.

Leading members of the DAP received their habilitation at the WM Bechterew Psychoneurological Institute in St. Petersburg. Günter Ammon submitted his habilitation thesis in 1995 and was posthumously appointed professor in the same year. Maria Ammon and Ilse Burbiel (then head psychologist at the dynamic psychiatric clinic Menterschwaige) received their habilitation in 2003. The habilitation theses in Russian are contributions to various aspects of dynamic psychiatry.

In 2006 Maria Ammon and Ilse Burbiel were awarded an honorary doctorate by the WM Bechterew Psychoneurological Institute.

The DAP is a member of the following associations:

  • DDPP - Umbrella Association of German-Speaking Psychoses Psychotherapy
  • European Confederation of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapies (ECPP)
  • International Federation for Psychotherapy (IFP)
  • World Association for Dynamic Psychiatry (WADP)
  • World Association of Social Psychiatry (WASP).

Membership in the scientific society of psychoanalytic training institutes DGPT is out of the question for the institutes of the DAP on the one hand for historical reasons, on the other hand because of the training guidelines demanded by the DGPT. At the institutes of the DAP, only a two-hour training analysis is required in accordance with the requirements of the Psychotherapists Act, which excludes recognition as a DGPT institute. The Munich Institute is a member of the German Society for Depth Psychological Psychotherapy DFT.

Controversy

The controversies surrounding the German Academy for Psychoanalysis are predominantly historical and are rooted in particular in the Günter Ammon era (until 1995).

External point of view

The first critical contributions to the DAP appeared in the mid to late 1970s. Der Spiegel and the Süddeutsche Zeitung were sued by the DAP. In 1982 it was clear after the Spiegel trial that z. B. It is permissible to establish that at that time there were a dozen lawsuits or charges against Ammon, against other DAP members as well as against the DAP itself for insulting and defamation , coercion and breaking medical confidentiality or that a popular "Ammon technique" the confrontation that manifests itself in aggressive abuse. Former employees and a long-time patient reported on their experiences in critical book chapters. In an interview in Psychologie Heute 1989, the long-time patient reveals herself as a DAP patient. A second contribution is an excerpt on the history of the DAP from a publication by Hansjörg Hemminger (The therapeutic realm of Dr. Ammon) , at that time an employee of the Evangelical Central Office for Weltanschauungsfragen. This publication contains an experience report of the head nurse who worked at the Menterschwaige clinic from June 1980 to March 1985 and had previously been treated at DAP since 1975, as well as an experience report and comments (anonymously) from a long-term employee. Hansjörg Hemminger, on the other hand, examines the DAP from the perspective of a totalitarian cult. In the early 1990s Schmidbauer (" Helfersyndrom ") published his experiences, which led to the separation from the DAP at the end of 1973. He also reports on the difficulty of discussing, on confrontations that Ammons perceived as insults and the psychologization of behavior in everyday situations: “If a lecturer does not see why he should work unpaid while other lecturers earn well, then it is not about his paranoid ones To interpret tendencies or his hole in the ego. ”The others, who separated from Ammon in the same group, reported similar things. As an example of extreme form of narcissistic abuse in psychotherapy (the therapist uses the patient to increase self-esteem), the occurrences in the DAP are evaluated by a psychotherapist in the specialist literature with reference to Hansjörg Hemminger. Apart from the technical mainstream, the then DAP and Ammon were also criticized within the anti-psychiatry movement (status 1981).

Even after Ammon's death in 1995 and the state recognition as a training institute in 1999, critical voices were occasionally heard. In 2001, Bayerischer Rundfunk broadcast articles by a former DAP member and two former patients, which were commented on by an independent specialist. One focus of the criticism at the time was on the addictive characteristics of the therapies used by DAP therapists. The former Weltanschauung commissioner of the Evangelical Church of Württemberg (until 2013), Hansjörg Hemminger , considers the state recognition as a training institute to be a wrong decision. He thinks (as of 2009), “according to new insider reports, not too much has changed internally in the DAP, it still sees itself as a working and living community for therapists and patients. Perpetual therapy therefore remains the way of life of their followers. This also continues the constant violation of the therapeutic rules of art ( abstinence , role clarity, confidentiality, etc.). ”An injunction by the DAP against the last paragraph of the text from which this statement originates is also published on December 3, 2007 in 2 Instance completely rejected. The DAP was assessed (as of around 2010) by various church representatives for ideology as a “psycho cult” or “psychosect”.

Since 2010 the discussion about the DAP has almost completely subsided, possibly also after the first state qualifications of the training candidates after the introduction of the Psychotherapists Act and the opening up to different therapy approaches and theories in connection with this training course. This also includes the encounters between the external speakers and DAP employees in the institutes' public lectures, which has led to a revised image of the DAP.

Internal point of view

Published reactions to the critical contributions are available from the DAP in the form of replies , letters to the editor and interviews. Gisela Ammon, President of the German Group Psychotherapeutic Society (DGG), sent a three-point reply to the two Spiegel articles from 1980, and Ammon, as President of the DAP, sent a ten-point reply. The fact that the votes in the general assemblies of the DGG and the DAP were unanimous was due to the fact that the topics were mostly controversial in the preparatory meetings. There are no lawsuits pending against the DAP and Ammon, neither in the past nor in the present. In 1986, in an interview with Magazin 2000, Ammon justified the separation of some therapists from the DAP with their unwillingness to dance to the newly introduced human-structural dance at the closed meetings in the DAP conference center in Paestum, Italy. When the interviewer asked for a statement as to why the Evangelical Central Office for Weltanschauung questions called him a psycho-guru and authoritarian leader who chains his employees to himself through a network of intrigues, Ammon replied that he sometimes had to deal with patients and training candidates who project your paranoid thought system onto him: “I can only say that you are, that has nothing to do with me, absolutely not. Not at all! ” DAP members also sent letters to the editor about the two articles in Psychologie Heute 1989. Maria Ammon (then Maria Berger) expressed the opinion about the interview with Gilda Boysen (pseudonym) that it would contradict any understanding of therapy and treatment to rely on reports from these acting patients and see them as reality. Reports like that of Gilda Boysen are authentic in terms of her feelings about transmission and projection , but have little authenticity in reality. It seems downright grotesque to shamelessly market them for ideological purposes, as Hansjörg Hemminger does. In another letter to the editor from a former training candidate and now a training analyst at DAP, the view is expressed that Hansjörg Hemminger is entering the therapeutic realm of Dr. Ammon appears like a trained therapist who can allow himself an expert judgment on such extremely difficult therapy processes. He is a behavioral biologist and sect representative who is hostile to any therapeutic endeavors for mentally ill patients. A reply from the DAP also appeared in Psychology Today . The DAP declined to comment on the broadcast on Bayerischer Rundfunk: “We are in no way concerned with fending off critical questions or holding you off in any way. But until we can count on being treated fairly by you, we are not ready to work together on this matter. Unless you make us an offer where it can be assumed that we will not be associated with unfounded allegations and defamations, which would damage our reputation. ”Ilse Burbiel, has worked at the Munich LFI since 1972 and has been its since 1984 Psychological and scientific director (until 2014) as well as head psychologist of the dynamic psychiatric clinic Menterschwaige until 2010, commented in 2003 in an interview in the clinic's Phönix patient newspaper. From their point of view, the allegation that the DAP is a sect is most likely related to the strong group concept and the fact that Ammon always expressed himself very critically and challenged many and that there were always employees and patients who were personally were offended and took up this. This would happen everywhere and was nothing special - according to Burbiel - and this would have happened in particular in 1985 after the police search of the clinic, "everyone who got annoyed at one point or another got involved."

Internally, the earlier controversies mentioned, especially those in the 1980s and 1990s, only play a minor role, probably also because the DAP had to move away from a monothematic approach anyway, given the state training at both institutes.

rating

A sociological and group dynamic analysis of the controversies surrounding the DAP up to the turn of the millennium and the changes initiated by the Psychotherapists Act is still pending from an independent perspective.

While other psychoanalytic or psychiatric institutions have gone through temporary crises that ultimately fell into historical oblivion, the debate with and about the German Academy for Psychoanalysis has evidently continued for years. It is possible that a “better world claim” on the part of the founders who took up the psychiatric reform contributed to an accentuation of disappointments about unfulfilled promises. It may also be added that the internally increased group coherence that resulted from the controversies and the police measures in 1985 led to a consecutive “wagon mentality”, which could have made a more objective discussion and discussion more difficult both internally and externally.
