-The Mitscherlich ward is a psychotherapeutic ward of the Clinic for General Internal Medicine and Psychosomatics in the Centre for Psychosocial Medicine.

The ward has 22 places (three of which are day-clinical) with two different therapy programmes ("settings"). In some cases, it is possible and sensible to switch from inpatient to day-clinic treatment while retaining the same patient group. The usual duration of therapy on Mitscherlich ward is eight weeks, in individual cases shorter or slightly longer.
The therapies are carried out by a team consisting of a senior physician, ward physicians, psychologists, nurses, creative therapist, body therapist and social worker.

-One group ("Wednesday group") comprises patients who are particularly "unstable" physically and/or mentally, for example, or who are at risk of being adversely affected by insufficiently prepared confrontation with traumatic experiences from the past. They are primarily supported as part of a resource-orientated therapeutic approach (i.e. strengthening existing but underused coping skills).

-The second group ("Monday group") comprises patients who usually suffer from long-standing stressful life issues or severely limiting symptoms (depression, anxiety, compulsions, eating disorders, etc.). The initial aim of therapy is to relieve suffering. The aim is then to identify the things that are perpetuating the problems and also to gain insight into difficult feelings in order to achieve better control over them.
