Life

Helfried Teichmann grew up in Niederwiesa . After graduating from high school in Chemnitz , he studied psychology at the University of Leipzig with Werner Fischel , Günter Clauss and Hans R. Böttcher and graduated in 1959 with a diploma. In 1967 he received his doctorate from the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena under Hans Hiebsch and in 1981 he received his habilitation from the University of Rostock . Under the direction of Gerhard Göllnitz and Hans-Dieter Rösler , he acquired profound scientific knowledge in neuropsychiatry and clinical developmental psychology at the mental hospital of this university. He was able to check its validity in the daily clinical work on patients with disorders of the psychological and psychosomatic brain functions. As a result of the strictly science-oriented training in Leipzig, Jena and Rostock, he integrated the highly regarded results of the neuroscientific pioneering work of Russian researchers IP Pawlow , AN Leontjew , AR Luria and LS Wygotski into his conceptual thinking about psychological and psychosomatic brain functions at an early stage . On a study trip lasting several months in 1967/68 he met leading experts at the universities of Moscow and St. Petersburg .

In the 1980s and 1990s, numerous invitations from the University of Vienna enabled him to delve deeper into the research results of S. Freud . During the same period, the research results of the Rostock working group received strong attention from the renowned developmental psychologists U. Bronfenbrenner , R. Silbereisen and H. Rauh. They took Teichmann on congress trips and guest lectures to Tours , Cologne , Marburg , Prague , Jyväskylä , Budapest , Lodz , Danzig , and Sofia . In 1987 he was appointed to the Section for Rehabilitation Education and Communication Sciences at the Humboldt University in Berlin under the direction of K.-P. Becker. He deserves the credit for having recognized the nature of disabled education as rehabilitation.

After the political change in 1989 , Teichmann became the dean of this section in the previously divided city under the programmatic name “Department of Rehabilitation Sciences ”. Together with U. Koch-Gromus ( University of Hamburg ), he headed a committee that focuses on creating new scientific structures and their staffing. As a result of this research policy work, the first interdisciplinary institute for rehabilitation sciences was established at a European university in 1993. He also had an influence on the rebuilding of the Berlin universities as director of this institute with 15 chairs from 1994 to 1999, as prorector of the faculty, as a member of the academic senate and the council of Humboldt University. In 1994, the integration of the Institute for Special and Curative Education of the Free University of Berlin in the western part of the city into the rehabilitation science structures of the Humboldt University in the eastern part of the city was sensitively implemented.

Teichmann persistently endeavored to anchor medical, educational, psychological and occupational rehabilitation integratively at the university. In this context, the acquisition of an endowed professorship of the German Pension Insurance for Rehabilitation for "Research in the Medical Care System and Quality Assurance in Rehabilitation" succeeded in 1997 . This was achieved at a time when the institutionalization of rehabilitation at universities around the world could only be observed to a modest extent. The Institute for Rehabilitation Sciences attracted international attention in 1998, whereby Teichmann, as co-organizer of the 6th European Congress on Research in Rehabilitation at the Humboldt University, understood how to use the opportunities that existed for it.

Since completing his university teaching position in 2000, he has worked as a psychotherapist in his own practice. He is supported in this by his wife Christel, with whom he has been married since his youth. At the same time, he contributes his experience to medical and psychotherapeutic committees.

Scientific work

Teichmann owes much of his work to the stimulating atmosphere of the Rostock research team and his sensitive perception of “the zone of the next scientific development” in the relevant research fields. His first publications dealt with developmental psychological issues. In 1969 he demonstrated that the parents' expectations of their children are unconsciously conceived as draft assessments and actions even before they are born, but only become aware when their children develop differently than expected. In 1976 he was able to empirically prove the interaction of biological and psychosocial risk stresses on the developmental course of children with early childhood brain dysfunction (children at risk ). According to this, biological (perinatal) brain dysfunction cannot be compensated if there are also many psychosocial risk factors that burden the children's development. As a rule, these functional disorders are exacerbated. But high psychosocial risk exposure can also cause the same brain dysfunction as the biological risks, because both can impair the brain metabolism. For the same reason, a low biological risk exposure favors the development of a high level of resistance ( resilience ) to psychosocial stress.

These results met with broad acceptance after initial skepticism on the part of medical representatives. And in the following years they pushed for the inclusion of psychosocial factors in therapeutic interventions in the areas of neonatology , pediatrics , neuropsychiatry , clinical psychology and education for the disabled .

As early as 1970, Teichmann had started the Rostock longitudinal study on the developmental courses of children with pregnancy and birth risks, which he accompanied in creative collaboration with Bernhard Meyer-Probst and in collegial cooperation with other medical and psychological colleagues up to the age of 15. The mutual reinforcement and weakening of biological and psychosocial risks for performance and social behavior became the main concept of these follow-up examinations on 300 children. Their results found recognition in the east and west of the world, which was also divided in terms of science policy at the time. This is one of the reasons why the German Research Foundation is funding this prospective study to the present day, which is now being continued by Olaf Reis.

As in Rostock, a similar prospective longitudinal study had already been started by EE Werner in Hawaii - in mutual ignorance . Today it is ascribed the beginning of international resilience research. The publications from the Rostock longitudinal study, which have been published for four decades since 1976, not only confirm the research results of the Hawaii study, but also specify and increase the wealth of knowledge about decompensation and compensation of brain functional systems and their psychological and psychosomatic manifestations in the development of the human personality. For example, Teichmann formulated the law of relativity for the effect of risk factors and developed a mathematical forecast model. Helfried Teichmann's list of publications includes more than 100 scientific papers. Many of them help to clarify the interaction of internal and external factors influencing the development of psychological and psychosomatic brain functions.
