concept

Each of the two conference weeks has a topic that appears to the Scientific Management and the Scientific Advisory Board to be topical, or which they believe has been neglected. There are lectures, lectures and seminars on the topics. The event will take place on the island of Lindau in the border triangle between Germany, Austria and Switzerland . The conference language is German, occasionally there are also English-language events. As a rule, around 4,000 medical and psychological psychotherapists and members of related professions attend one of the two weeks.

history

The founding of the Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks goes back to an encounter between Ernst Speer and Ernst Kretschmer , re-founder of the General Medical Society for Psychotherapy (AÄGP) in Tübingen in 1949. The first psychotherapy course was led in 1950 by Ernst Speer, who led one of the first psychotherapeutic clinics in Lindau since 1922.

After the number of participants and employees rose to around 300, the range of topics also increased accordingly. In 1955 it was agreed between Ernst Speer and Ernst Kretschmer that no conference should take place in 1956 in order to give more space to other ÄAGP events. After that, after a one-year break in 1957, the Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks took place annually until today. In 1958 Ernst Speer headed the Lindau Psychotherapy Week for the last time. Helmuth Stolze took over the management of the conference from his uncle Ernst Speer. As early as 1949, Stolze had started his psychotherapeutic training in the courses in psychotherapy run by Ernst Kretschmer. With his courageous decision to take responsibility for organization and design from 1959, Stolze shaped the didactic-scientific concept and a particularly collegial and all psychotherapeutic direction open-minded atmosphere for 20 years. A new development began in Lindau to promote self-awareness and practice in new procedures. From 1959 a second week of exercises and seminars became a permanent feature. When Hanns Ruffin took over the chairmanship of the General Medical Society for Psychotherapy in 1959 and proudly took over the management of the Lindau Psychotherapy Week, the Lindau Psychotherapy Week was organized in agreement with the AÄGP.

From the 11th Lindau Psychotherapy Week in 1961 onwards, new self-awareness groups were offered every year in Lindau, the members of which underwent self-experience in analytical group psychotherapy and tried out a new possible way of analytically-oriented further education with this fractional work of two to four session periods annually. This work in the analytical self-awareness groups subsequently became a component of further training in psychotherapy. As early as 1951 W. Schindler had presented the group work as part of the Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks.

The psychiatrist Erich Lindemann emigrated to Harvard in the United States after working for Viktor von Weizsäcker in Heidelberg for a year . Lindemann has been leading a self-awareness group in Lindau since 1960. Ernst Speer died on March 28, 1964 in Lindau, and Ernst Kretschmer also died in the same year. In 1965 the "Program Committee" took over the design of the main topics and lectures, on which together with Helmuth Stolze (Munich), Hanspeter Harlfinger (Tübingen-Wehen), Dietrich Langen (Tübingen-Mainz), Leonhard Schlegel (Zurich), Eckart Wiesenhütter (Würzburg- Tübingen-Bethel), Wulf Wunnenberg (Hamburg), Peter Hahn (Heidelberg) belonged.

In 1967 the "Association for Psychotherapeutic Further Education eV" was founded under the chairmanship of Paul Kluge, which now acts as the legal sponsor of the Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks. The Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks developed in the 1970s from a pure lecture event to a conference at which courses, seminars and exercises are offered to an ever greater extent. The program was structured in such a way that each of the two weeks can be attended independently of the other. In 1974 Helmut Remmler officially took over the management together with Helmuth Stolze, after having been involved in the planning of the program and in the organization since 1973 and had previously been involved as an employee of the psychotherapy weeks. In 1978, after 20 years, Helmuth Stolze ended his activity in the management of the Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks and passed it on to his successors, Helmut Remmler, Peter Buchheim and Theodor Seifert.

In 1976 and 1983 Paul Watzlawick , a psychoanalyst and sociologist from Austria, presented his "Psychotherapeutic Communication Theory" to the conference attendees. From 1984 onwards, each of the two psychotherapy weeks had its own main theme - from then on, both weeks were structured identically in terms of content and organization.

In 1986 Helmut Remmler was retired as a member of the scientific management. Now Peter Buchheim and Theodor Seifert led the Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks together. Manfred Cierpka , psychiatrist and psychoanalyst from Ulm, who had been involved in the design of the program since 1989, joined the management after being elected by the board of the association. The members of the board of the "Association for Psychotherapeutic Further Education" are Peter-Christian Fink, Werner Stucke, and Barbara Buddeberg-Fischer. Honorary members of the association are Clemens Henrich and Paul Kluge. In 1987 Otto F. Kernberg was in Lindau for the first time. He gave lectures on the subjects of "Concepts of the psychotherapeutic relationship" and "What works in psychotherapy for severe personality disorders?"

The relationship between AÄGP and LP was shaped by personalities who have campaigned for the further development of psychotherapy in the executive committees of both organizations. This endeavor was initially carried out by E. Kretschmer, H. Ruffin and Winkler, and later by Helmut Enke , Heinz-Günter Rechenberger, Annelise Heigl-Evers and Paul Kluge. Werner Stucke had chaired the AÄGP as well as the Association for Psychotherapeutic Further Education for many years and gave information events on questions of psychotherapeutic further education a priority in Lindau.

Psychotherapy researcher and former president of the North American Society for Psychotherapy Research David Orlinsky , gave a lecture on "The professional and personal development of psychotherapists" in 1996 and 1998. As early as 1991, in cooperation with the "Collaborative Research Network (CRN)", David Orlinsky, and Horst Kächele, studies on the "development, further training and activities of psychotherapists" were carried out with participants in the 41st Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks. In 1998 Theodor Seifert left the management team, but is still available for the Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks as a management consultant and as a member of the scientific advisory board. Peter Buchheim and Manfred Cierpka now led the conference together. From 2001 Verena Kast has been part of the scientific management, from which Peter Buchheim left in 2003. In 2011 Peter Henningsen joined the scientific management.

Since 2009 the Association for Psychotherapeutic Further Education e. V. Funding programs for young psychotherapists with the aim of imparting skills on topics such as “Don't be afraid of groups” or “Dealing with relatives in psychotherapy” to young professionals who work in clinics or on an outpatient basis. In 2017 Dorothea Huber joined the scientific management. Manfred Cierpka , who had been part of the scientific management since 1990, died in December 2017. Theodor Seifert also died in May 2018 .

literature

  • The lectures of the first eight Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks from 1950 to 1955 and 1957 were each published in an anthology.
  • In 1956 Ernst Speer and G. Heyer founded a quarterly magazine for active clinical psychotherapy under the name "Psychotherapy" in the Hans-Huber-Verlag , Bern-Stuttgart. Helmuth Stolze and Otto Spatz renamed the bimonthly magazine "Praxis der Psychotherapie". The journal became the "organ of the Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks" and the Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks guaranteed the journal a growing readership - editorial team (1961–1970: Stolze and Wiesenhütter, 1971–1976: Dettmering and Hahn, who was joined by Rechenberger from 1977). In the following 20 years, the lectures of the Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks were presented as completely as possible in the interests of further and advanced psychotherapeutic training, even if only occasionally in short versions.
  • In 1977 the journal was taken over by Springer-Verlag , Heidelberg, and in 1979 one of the directors of the Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks, Theodor Seifert, joined the editorial team. 40 years of Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks and 35 years of the journal “Praxis der Psychotherapie und Psychosomatik” stand for periods of two developments that are closely intertwined.
  • The lectures of the 40th Lindau Psychotherapy Weeks on the main topics “Psychotherapy in Transition” and “Dependency” were published for the first time in 1991 in the book series “Lindau Texts” published by Springer Verlag and were given to the participants in the psychotherapy weeks to deepen their psychotherapeutic training in Lindau to hand over. The "Lindau Texts" appeared annually until 2000.
  • The Lindau Psychotherapy Modules have been published by Thieme Verlag on disorder-oriented psychotherapy since 1997 .
  • The journal “Praxis der Psychotherapie und Psychosomatik” will be continued by Springer-Verlag as “Psychotherapeut” in 2016 in the 61st year.
