Life

After graduating from high school in 1967, Ulrich Sachsse studied medicine at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen from 1968 to 1973 at the Humanist Gymnasium Fridericianum in Herford . From 1974 to 1976 he was a medical assistant in Göttingen (psychotherapy with Hanscarl Leuner ) and in Wolfsburg (surgery and internal medicine). Between 1973 and 1976 he completed his further training in Katathymem Bilderleben (KB), today Katathymem-Imaginative Psychotherapie (KIP) and between 1973 and 1984 his further training as a psychoanalyst at the Lou Andreas Salome Institute for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy Göttingen . He received his license to practice medicine in 1976 and was then resident and senior physician at the Tiefenbrunn Specialist Clinic near Göttingen until 1982. His most important teachers there were Franz Heigl and Karl König . Sachsse received his doctorate in 1980 for a thesis on group therapy with the KIP at Hanscarl Leuner in Göttingen. With the specialist training from 1982 to 1986 at the Lower Saxony State Hospital in Göttingen by Ulrich Venzlaff, who dealt extensively with the psychiatric consequences of National Socialist persecution, he became a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy. He received important suggestions from supervising Peter Fürstenau in Düsseldorf. From 1987 to 2009 he was senior physician, then head of department of FB VI (psychotherapy and day clinic) of the Lower Saxony State Hospital Göttingen - specialist clinic for psychiatry and psychotherapy (since 2007 Asklepios specialist clinic Göttingen ). He has been a scientific advisor to this clinic since 2009.

Sachsse is one of the founding editors of the journal Personality Disorders - Theory and Therapy PTT in the Schattauer Verlag . In 2006 he founded the Göttingen Academy for Psychotherapy GAP together with Ulrich Rüger and Ulrich Streeck. In 2010 he founded the Academy for Psychotherapeutic Education and Training (APAW) in Göttingen together with Katharina Parisius and Willy Herbold-Schaar, his successor as chief physician.

Focus of work and research

Since 1979 Sachsse was one of the first to dedicate himself therapeutically and research to the then new and not understood symptom of self-harming behavior (SVV). He understood these symptoms as an unusual form of self-care and developed a psychodynamic treatment procedure that used confronting elements according to Otto F. Kernberg and stabilizing, structure-promoting elements of the psychoanalytical interactional method. In 1994 he got to know Luise Reddemann's imaginative approach for traumatized women in Bielefeld and thereby changed his treatment in many ways. He warned against treating destructive childhood experiences directly in the transference and therapeutic relationship, unlike the official psychoanalysis of the time. He used the extensive therapy experience of Reddemann and his skills in KIP to establish a kind of “play therapy for adults” with imaginative approaches with traumatizations in childhood and adolescence as well as with very bad attachment and relationship experiences. “Station 9” in Göttingen for traumatized women was one of the first in Germany to focus on this treatment. There Sachsse and his team continuously worked on combining behavioral desensitization through trauma exposure ( EMDR , imaginative trauma confrontation) with psychodynamic work on disastrous attachment experiences. The medium and long-term effectiveness of his treatment could be evaluated (outcome research with Falk Leichsenring and Rainer Krause ).

Current research projects: NMR and PET brain research with Irle and Lange, Göttingen, and Less, Zurich; Psychocardiological research with Herrmann-Lingen, Göttingen; Affect research with Krause and Dr. Kirsch, Saarbrücken; Research on complex PTSD and borderline personality disorder with Martin Sack , Munich, and Birger Dulz , Hamburg.

Sachsse is extensively lecturing, training and teaching in the field of trauma therapy and therapy for borderline personality disorder in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
