Jenseits der Diagnosen

In recent years, the number of mental health diagnoses has skyrocketed. Nationwide, twice as many psychotherapy sessions are conducted compared to 15 years ago. The number of practicing psychotherapists is steadily increasing. Are we all sick, or is there something wrong with the psychotherapy system? In intriguing case studies, experienced psychotherapist Dr. Holger Richter shares unusual cases where the diagnosis does not reveal what is truly happening, treatments go in circles, more and more diagnoses and therapies are added – yet the patient remains unwell. In brief reflections, he develops a broader perspective on a diagnosis and the subsequent therapy plot that addresses the key issues to escape the dilemma of 'ever more' therapy.
