life and work

As a researcher in the 1960s and 1970s, he studied a. a. the long-term course of various mental illnesses up to old age, in particular of schizophrenic and manic-depressive disorders, as well as the possibilities of social reintegration (rehabilitation) of the mentally ill . Subsequently, he dealt with the interactions between feeling and thinking, which led to the development of his theory of affect logic from 1982 onwards .

In 1984 Ciompi founded the new therapeutic residential community Soteria Bern on this basis , in which people with acute schizophrenic disorders are treated mainly through intensive interpersonal support and care in an emotionally relaxing environment. He is also one of the founders of the vulnerability-stress model to explain the multifactorial causes and the multifaceted course of the disease of schizophrenia, and a pioneer for an integrative psychiatry that takes into account the social, psychological and neurobiological conditions of development of mental disorders equally and uses them therapeutically.

Ciompi wrote around 250 scientific publications, including 14 books and over 50 book chapters, in particular on the long-term course of schizophrenia, the concept of affect logic, the emotional foundations of thinking and the problem of time and the experience of time. He has received several international research awards and honors, including honorary membership of the ISPS ( International Society for Psychological and Social Approaches to Psychosis ) and an honorary doctorate from the University of Lausanne . In 2015 he received the Dr. Margrit Egnér Foundation .

In an online article, Ciompi explains his view of the cyclical interaction between emotion and cognition. Ciompi sees the starting point of the circular mode of action in that all cognitions trigger certain emotions and certain emotions influence all cognitions. In contrast, compare Richard Graf's KiE concept. Graf argues in his book with an emotion, intuition and cognition theory for an initialization of emotive-cognitive cycles through emotions. Graf's KiE theory allows the explanation of memory, perception and decision-making phenomena as stringent creation processes

Ciompi has been married since 1959 and has two children. He lives in Belmont-sur-Lausanne .
