The special consultation serves to clarify whether an obsessive-compulsive disorder is present and to discuss suitable psychotherapeutic and medicinal treatment options. In particular, we want to clarify whether inpatient treatment might be appropriate for you. During the interview, which lasts about 50 minutes, we will ask you to describe your specific problems. All available previous findings should be brought to the appointment.

Obsessive-compulsive disorders are characterized by involuntary, recurring intrusive thoughts and/or ritualized, repetitive behaviors (e.g., checking, washing hands, ordering). The content of the thoughts and actions is predominantly seen by the affected person as meaningless or as not leading to a goal. About 3% of the population suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder in their lifetime. This makes this disorder one of the most common mental illnesses.
The psychoeducational therapy group is also open to patients who are not currently being treated as inpatients at our clinic, i.e. you can also take advantage of this offer as an outpatient. In a group of approx. 8 to 12 patients, you will receive detailed and comprehensive information about the illness at 16 weekly appointments.
Before you attend the group, we ask you to make an appointment at our special consultation for obsessive-compulsive disorders. In addition to a diagnostic classification of your symptoms, it can be clarified here whether our psychoeducational therapy group is suitable for you and whether other, further treatment strategies could be useful for you.
Tuesday 4.00 p.m. - 6.00 p.m. Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Start of next group dates: 29.10.2024 02.04.2025 The psychoeducational therapy group is semi-open: i.e. you can be admitted to the group up to the 3rd session, provided that the group size still permits this. Otherwise we will put you on the waiting list and you will start the group at a later date. |
Persons with private health insurance have the opportunity to undergo outpatient individual psychotherapy (behavioural therapy) at our private outpatient clinic. Since our clinic does not have a health insurance fund, we are not able to bill the statutory health insurance funds for outpatient individual psychotherapy and therefore unfortunately cannot offer it.
Please first make an appointment in our special consultation hour for obsessive-compulsive disorders.
