Psychiatrie

In October 2017, the Stiftung Anerkennung und Hilfe commissioned a research group to investigate the suffering and injustice experienced by children in inpatient institutions for the disabled and child and adolescent psychiatry in West and East Germany after 1945. The results of the investigation, based on written sources and eyewitness testimonies, are presented in this volume along with 17 case studies. It becomes clear that there were insufficient adequate facilities for minors with mental illnesses and/or disabilities in both German states. The individual support needs of children and young people were also neglected. A deficit-orientated view of minors with mental disabilities and mental illness prevented appropriate support in both German states for large parts of the study period. Until the 1970s, the institutional landscape in East and West was characterised by permanent underfunding, staff shortages, lack of space, lack of refurbishment and overcrowding. While an improvement in these conditions can be demonstrated for the FRG as a whole in the context of reform efforts from the 1970s onwards, these deficiencies remained in principle in the GDR until at least 1990. Pedagogically justified coercive and punitive measures as well as humiliating experiences existed in all of the institutions investigated - albeit to varying degrees. Medical or therapeutic measures that were experienced as painful or unjustified can be found above all in child and adolescent psychiatric centres.  The precarious conditions in the institutions could have favoured the forms of suffering and injustice mentioned, even though the conditions under which the staff providing care and therapy at the time worked do not exonerate anyone from the injustices committed and cannot justify the suffering of those affected.
