The Psychotherapeutic Day Clinic (PTK) of the Centre for Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy (ZPP) at the Clinic for Adults (UPKE) is aimed at people with personality disorders, eating disorders, depressive illnesses, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders as well as psychosomatic illnesses.

The fundamental goal of the PTK is to alleviate mental and psychosocial burdens, achieve general psychological stabilisation and improve social integration. To this end, an in-depth understanding of the patients’ inner conflicts and limitations is developed within the interdisciplinary team based on a psychodynamic orientation. The day clinic treatment offers the valuable opportunity to engage in an intensive therapy process while remaining integrated in the family and social environment.
