Integrative movement-and-body-therapy as a part of the multiprofessional treatment in integrated forensic psychiatry of a general psychiatric hospital with a psychotic patient in a longterm treatment process – a documentary treatment journal of narrative biographical work

Translation by Ivan Vračić. This treatment journal describes a three-year integrative movement-and-body-therapy in an integrated forensic psychiatric institution with a patient with a diagnosis F20.0 paranoid-hallucinatory psychosis and F19.25 Polytox-Addiction under ICD-10. For this patient the therapeutic relationship with a woman in the context of a dyadic therapy (individual therapy) is consciously sought and used for a corrective relationship experience under the aspect of gender. Central themes, among others the regulation of closeness and distance, are treated by body centred interventions as well as – especially in the second part of the treatment – by the therapeutic conversation. Throughout the therapeutic process the “hermeneutic spiral” and the “tetradic model” structure giving access into each other. Of the “4 ways of healing” in this course the paths 1-3 are significant. https://www.fpi-publikation.de/polyloge/28-2016-vracic-i-hamer-vidmar-n-integrativna-terapija-kao-terapija-pokretom-i-tjelesna/ peerReviewed publishedVersion
