Day centre (TAZ)

In the day centre (TAZ), children and adolescents aged 12-17 are treated on a day-clinic basis, i.e. they spend evenings and weekends at home. The advantage of day clinic treatment is that the patient is left in their familiar surroundings, can maintain current social ties and relationships with parents and friends and can deal with conflicts and problems where they arise.

-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 stage of development, 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.
