Information
for Practitioners
According
to scientific and clinical reports, parents who suffer from a
mental illness or who have been subjected to severe stress in
childhood often find it more difficult to respond adequately to
their child's emotional needs compared to parents without such
stress. So when we treat patients who have children, we should
also think about them or include difficulties in parenting in the
treatment. At the Aachen site, a program with Early Aids
Aachen and Surrounding Area is being carried out,
which offers mentalization-based teamwork and supervision. In
Heidelberg and Berlin, parent training courses are offered at the
Department of General Psychiatry of the Heidelberg University
Hospital and the Charité Psychiatric University Clinic at the St.
Hedwig Hospital in Berlin. They aim to improve parental ability to
immerse themselves in their child and are integrated into existing
care systems. In order to participate in a parent training as part
of the project, your patient must be in inpatient, semi-inpatient
or outpatient psychiatric or psychotherapeutic treatment.
