Kurt Eberhard grew up in the Mecklenburg village of Lalchow and in Rostock and left the GDR and his family in 1952 . He stayed with foster families and in a children's home in West Berlin and passed his Abitur.

During his studies he became a member of the Rugia fraternity in Berlin . As a student he was active against the GDR, among other things as an escape helper . He also wanted to shoot the GDR chief Walter Ulbricht with his then federal brother Dieter Hallervorden , but this action did not go beyond the preparatory phase.

From 1965 to 1971 he worked as a clinical psychologist under the direction of the psychiatrist Klaus Hartmann in the psychiatric-psychological department of the Hans-Zulliger-Haus in Berlin. Eberhard was director of the Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences from 1971 to 1973 and worked at it as a professor for socialization and empirical social research. Since 1971 he has been a lecturer at the Berlin Academy for Psychotherapy (BAP) in the field of training and further education for psychologists. From 1974 he also worked as a part-time psychotherapist, neither as a doctor nor as a psychoanalyst, but in depth psychology with an integrative concept. He particularly took care of traumatized children and young people. Since 1993 he has been a lecturer and teaching therapist in the further training course for psychotherapists of the Association of German Psychologists (BDP).
