Psychosomatics, Psychiatry and Psychotherapy
Interdisciplinary Psychosomatics & Psychiatry
Everyone has probably at least once, experienced some kind of life crisis, the feeling of being overwhelmed whether privately or professionally. Such things as unexplainable anxiety and pain, night sweats and sleeping disorders – problems which once seemed easily solvable become insurmountable challenges. Symptoms and causes of psychosomatic disorders and illnesses are manifold. They require an in-depth and thorough clarification and diagnosis in order to develop a highly effective therapy and treatment.
Holistic Approach
The experts at the BetaGenese Klinik have developed an integrative treatment approach where the focus is on the special cooperation of both body and psychological functions: The healing of psychosomatic disorders follows a process where the body and psyche enter into a “dialogue”.
The holistic and therapeutic concept of BetaGenese is not dogmatic; the very solution-oriented treatment strategy is developed in close cooperation with the patient.
The patient’s personal strengths and resources point and guide the way, not the illness. The patient is the expert for the content and the clinic team for the process.
In this way we orient ourselves in a solutions oriented process rather than responding to zeitgeist ideas.
Individual Treatment Concepts
The possibility of withdrawing from a conflict filled environment to an in-patient stay with intensive medical treatment is often necessary. Many patients find the experience both comfortable and pleasant. The BetaGenese Klinik offers individual possibilities. Alongside the in-patient stay are also out-patient treatment possibilities as well as short term intensive therapies.

Therapy psychiatry and psychotherapy
At the psychiatric department of Beta Klinik, we focus on the following therapy options:
- clinical psychiatric therapy
- psychotherapy
- combination therapy
Clinical psychiatric therapy
The clinical psychiatric therapy is an outpatient therapy that consists of conversations and psychopharmacological medication based on state-of-the-art international guidelines of the APA/American Psychiatric Association. It includes a serum level test and a dose adjustment.
Psychotherapy
There are three kinds of psychotherapy at Beta Klinik:
- individual and group therapy based on depth psychology
- behavioral psychotherapy (being accompanied during exposure training included)
- dialectical behavior therapy according to Linehan (group therapy)
The specific kind of psychotherapy and the duration of this therapy depend on the individual disorder, its grade, the patient´s personality profile and expectations.
Generally, psychotherapy requires one outpatient setting (50 minutes) in case of individual or a double appointment (100 minutes) in case of group therapy. Short-term psychotherapy lasts about 3-4 months, more intensive therapies 1.5-2 years.
Combination therapy
Several clinical research studies have proven that a combined psychotherapeutic and pharmacological therapy is most successful, especially in case of affective disorders. This is why patients normally undergo a combined psychotherapeutic and pharmacological therapy that meets their individual needs.
