Our clinical tasks lie in the treatment modalities of acute psychiatry and crisis interventions, which are carried out within the framework of the regional care mandate for the city of Magdeburg, bio-psycho-social treatment strategies, the diagnosis of mental illness and special psychotherapy.

We have a distinct clinical focus on the diagnosis and therapy of schizophrenic, affective and dementia disorders and trauma-related disorders. Special emphasis is placed on the personnel, material and spatial equipment of the co-therapies, i.e. music therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and sociotherapy, as these forms of therapy are important supplements to the treatment program as patients spend a considerable proportion of their inpatient time in such therapies.

For patients who can be treated in our institute outpatient clinic or university outpatient clinic, we offer continuity in outpatient to (partially) inpatient treatment by teams led by senior physicians. These are established for mental illnesses in old age, borderline and trauma sequelae, affective disorders, schizophrenic disorders and addictions.

In order to coordinate the work of the doctors and psychologists as well as the cooperation between the professional groups, to describe the processes and to keep the tasks in the clinic at a high level of quality, there is a binding guideline (service instructions).
