Sparrow's nest

-Children with an indication for full inpatient psychotherapy and/or diagnostics from the entire spectrum of child psychiatric illnesses, e.g. (social) behavioural disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, attachment disorders, post-traumatic stress and adjustment disorders, depression, somatoform disorders, truancy, eating disorders, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders, enuresis, defecation, etc.

-Four children up to the age of 12 can be treated as inpatients at the Spatzennest.

-The basis of the individually tailored, relationship-oriented therapy is a multimodal child and adolescent psychiatric concept with psychodynamic, behavioural and family therapy elements. Behavioural therapy modules are used for specific disorders.

-The central principle is resource and solution orientation, which sees the patient's existing problems in close relation to their developmental stage, the developmental tasks at hand, their abilities and strengths and those of their family.

Close co-operation with the parents is an essential part of our therapy. Promoting the parent-child bond and supporting existing family skills are key objectives.

Our approach to the patient is relationship-orientated. A key element of this is attachment nursing, i.e. in addition to their personal therapist (doctor or psychologist), each patient has a primary contact person in the nursing and education team who is responsible for the patient from admission to discharge.
