Meinolf Peters (born 1952 in Emmerich ) is a German psychologist , psychotherapist and university professor at the Philipps University of Marburg .

Life

Peters studied psychology at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen from 1975 to 1981. He then worked there as a research assistant in the Developmental Psychology Department . From 1988 to 2004 he initially worked as a clinical psychologist and head of the research and documentation department, and since 1999 as a department head at the Rothaarklinik, a specialist clinic for psychosomatic medicine in Bad Berleburg . He gained 15 years of clinical experience in the treatment of elderly patients and built up a department for psychotherapy and psychosomatics in the second half of life at the clinic. Peters has been practicing as a psychoanalyst since 2004. Peters has also been a lecturer at the Philipps University of Marburg since 2004. From 2010 to 2017 he was honorary professor in the Faculty of Education. In addition, he worked as a project manager at the Klinik am Hainberg in Bad Hersfeld since 2004 and as a senior psychologist from 2008 to 2017. Since then he has been a consultant and supervisor. Since 2008 he has been co-owner and managing director of the Institute for Aging Psychotherapy and Applied Gerontology (founded by Hartmut Radebold ).

Focus of work

Peters was trained in conversation psychotherapy ( GwG ) and psychoanalysis ( DPG ) and made further training in systemic, solution-oriented psychotherapy.

Since 1989 a collaboration with Hartmut Radebold has developed . In the 1990s he carried out a first research project with him on inpatient psychotherapy for elderly patients, which remained one of his main focuses. Age psychotherapy developed into his main focus, especially with regard to its developmental and gerontological foundations. He also dealt with the problem of identifying older people in the postmodern world. A special contribution was a study (in collaboration with the Berlin Chamber of Psychotherapists ) in 2011 on the therapeutic style or therapeutic relationship in the treatment of the elderly.

His ongoing scientific interest is in the development of age-modified psychotherapy, which also includes the very old who have so far been largely excluded from care. His theory of secondary structural deficits links structure-related psychodynamic models with age-related clinical considerations and investigates the effect of age-related changes on structural deficits.

Another focus of work, which also continues Radebold's work, is the topic of the consequences of war, flight and displacement in old age.
