Life

Klaus Michael Beier began his medical studies in 1979 and in 1980 he also studied philosophy at the Free University of Berlin . In 1986 he received his doctorate in medicine, two years later in philosophy. Also in 1988 he became a scientific assistant in the sexual medicine research and counseling center at Kiel University Hospital . There he completed his habilitation in 1994 in the field of sexual medicine and in 1995 was appointed to the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin , at that time the medical faculty of the Humboldt University Berlin . He is a specialist in psychosomatic medicine, has additional qualifications in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and sexual medicine and has been director of the newly founded Institute for Sexology and Sexual Medicine at Charité since 1996. In teaching, he represents sexology across all faculties and sex medicine in medical studies. In 2017 he was awarded the Cross of Merit of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for his services in sexology research and for his commitment to the cause-related prevention of child sexual abuse.

The main starting point for Beier's commitment to the prevention of child sexual abuse was his follow-up examinations of previously examined sex offenders, which made prognostic assessments of different "offender types" possible and showed the significantly higher risk of relapse among men with pedophile sexual preferences compared to offenders who are not sexually responsive to children , but nonetheless sexually abusing children for various reasons. In this context, the term dissexuality was coined to make it clear that a large number of acts of the judiciary are not known, but that sexual social failure with negative consequences for the victims is nonetheless.

Another focus of Beier's work is the development of syndyastic sex therapy together with the Austrian sex medicine specialist Kurt Loewit. It focuses on the relationship dimension of sexuality and the fulfillment of basic needs for closeness, feeling accepted, security, trust and acceptance by the relationship partner that it makes possible.

Through the systematic presentation of the subject of sexual medicine and its curricular implementation in corresponding further training, Beier established the additional designation of sexual medicine in the further training regulations of the Berlin Medical Association in 2007 and the Federal Medical Association in 2018.

Beier was particularly criticized in connection with a passage in the chapter on gender identity disorders in the textbook Sexualmedizin, which he co-edited. In the said - not written by Beier - chapter u. a. reported on the approach of a Canadian working group in the treatment of children with gender identity disorders, which was increasingly controversial from 2010 onwards because it aimed at reconciliation with the sex of birth. The offers of the university outpatient clinic managed by Beier are not aimed at children and also follow the guidelines of the specialist societies, according to which everyday experiences in the desired gender role are encouraged and a therapeutic influence on the sexual identity perception is not sought.
