East German Society for Psychosomatic Gynecology and Obstetrics
The East German Society for Psychosomatic Gynecology and Obstetrics ( OGPGG ), founded as the Society for Psychosomatic Gynecology and Obstetrics ( GPGG ), existed from 1979 to 2000 and was merged into the German Society for Psychosomatic Gynecology and Obstetrics (DGPFG).
history
At the 7th Gynecological Congress of the GDR in Dresden in May 1978, Peter Knorre and Paul Franke met for the first time. Following his lecture, Franke called for the establishment of a working group for psychosomatic gynecology.
On November 16, 1979 the gynecologists Eberhard Bäßler, Paul Franke, Hans-Rüdiger Hamann, Roger Kirchner, Peter Knorre and Arndt Ludwig founded the "Working Group for Psychosomatic Gynecology and Obstetrics" at a meeting in the gynecological clinic of the Magdeburg Medical Academy. Since the working group saw itself as a "bridge" between gynecology and psychotherapy, letters were sent to both professional societies with a request for recognition and support. The Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics of the GDR refused recognition at its board meeting on June 5, 1980 on the grounds that such an initiative - if at all - could only come from the board. In contrast, the board of the Society for Medical Psychotherapy of the GDR decided in April 1980 to include the AG as a "temporary working group".
In 1980, after passing the colloquium, Paul Franke became the first gynecologist in the GDR to also become a specialist in psychotherapy. Then in 1981 G. Lindemann, the director of the gynecological clinic of the Med. Akademie Magdeburg, set up a department for psychosomatic gynecology (head: Paul Franke), the first at a gynecological clinic in the GDR.
1980–1983 the working group met two to three times a year for work consultations at different locations for weekend retreats, where the members obtained information about their scientific work and methods of psychotherapy and psychodiagnostics and held Balint groups . The members gave numerous lectures at gynecological and psychotherapeutic conferences and congresses, which resulted in a gradual increase in the number of members to around 16 gynecologists.
During a course at the Academy for Medical Training in September 1983, the working group was given a whole day for the first time to talk about its work in 9 lectures.
The board members of the societies for medical psychotherapy in the GDR and for gynecology and obstetrics in the GDR agreed in 1983 to jointly lead the working group as the "interdisciplinary working group for psychotherapy and medical psychology" of the two societies.
The first symposium “Psychological Problems in Gynecology and Obstetrics” in November 1984 in Magdeburg recorded around 250 participants. Then the number of members rose to almost 50. After much resistance, all lectures at this 1st Symposium in 1985 were printed in full in a brochure.
In 1985 Roger Kirchner developed a course system consisting of basic and advanced courses to impart psychosomatic and psychotherapeutic competence for gynecologists (today "basic psychosomatic care"). These courses, which were held twice a year, also resulted in an increase in the number of members to around 80 Roger Kirchner, since 1988 Arndt Ludwig.
The Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics of the GDR took over the AG in mid-November 1988 as the “Working Group for Psychosomatic Gynecology and Obstetrics”.
On December 9, 1989, the AG got its own symposium at the XI for the first time. Gynecology Congress in Leipzig . For the first time, the invitation of West German guests (Hans J. Prill and Peter Petersen) was allowed after invitations and the acceptance of reciprocal invitations had been prevented by the state.
After the unanimous decision of all members, the “Society for Psychosomatic Gynecology and Obstetrics” (GPGG) was founded on June 26, 1990; The previous chairman of the AG, Paul Franke, was elected as the first chairman.
In 1990 the GPGG was accepted into the "International Society of Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynecology" (ISPOG).
In 1994 a cooperation agreement was concluded between the Society for Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynecology (GPGG) and the German Society for Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynecology (DGPGG).
On September 11, 1994, eight members of the GPGG met in Barby at the invitation of Paul Franke and founded the “Further Education College for Psychosomatic Gynecology e. V. “(WPF), to whose chair Ms. C. Presch was elected. The WPF took over the organization and implementation of courses for basic psychosomatic care from the GPGG.
In the election of the board of directors on November 8, 1996, Paul Franke did not want to run for chairmanship again after 17 years. The meeting elected Carmen Dietrich as the new chairman of the GPGG. In addition, the assembly decided to leave the ISPOG.
At the general meeting in October 1997, at the suggestion of Paul Franke, it was decided to rename the society to "East German Society for Psychosomatic Gynecology and Obstetrics" (OGPGG) in order to prepare for a union with the German Society for Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynecology with this territorial delimitation (DGPGG) to prepare gradually. It was also proposed that both societies form an association commission made up of three members of the executive boards each.
At the general meeting on November 19, 1999, the report of the unification commission was unanimously approved, so that the planned merger of the two companies, i. H. Dissolution of both with the establishment of a new joint company, on the part of which OGPGG was no longer opposed.
On the XXIX. Annual meeting of the DGPGG together with the OGPGG from February 16 to 19, 2000 in Dresden, the general meetings of both societies decided to dissolve them and to found the joint “German Society for Psychosomatic Gynecology and Obstetrics” (DGPFG) under President M. Neises.
At the 30th annual meeting of the DGPFG on March 8, 2001 in Aachen , Manfred Stauber and Paul Franke were awarded the honorary presidency of the DGPFG.
