Where unresolved conflicts and traumas are reflected in the psychic structure is where psychoanalysis comes in, clarifying conflicts and substituting new emotional experiences for earlier traumatic ones.”

Information on the Elective Psychoanalysis
Cooperation Partner PSI
The psychotherapeutic specialisation with its methodological focus is carried out by the following cooperation partner:
Psychoanalytic Seminar Innsbruck (PSI) for the method of psychoanalysis
The PSI sees itself in the tradition of Sigmund Freud with the individual unconscious as the theoretical centre and the modern, scientific developments through the object relations theory, ego psychology and the interpersonal perspective.
PSI distances itself from dogmatic and esoteric positions. It understands psycho-analytic practice essentially as an analysis of relationships.
In addition to imparting theoretical and practical knowledge, the training is intended to lay the foundation for forming an individual, personal, psychoanalytic identity.
Information on Colloquium 1 & 2
Austrian Federal Ministry
Detailed information on the psychotherapist profession is available on the website of the Austrian Federal Ministry (in German).
