Abstract:
|
In the 1950s and 1960s, psychotherapist Annemarie Dührssen published empirical studies on the efficiency of analytically oriented psychotherapies, which are considered as the crucial impetus for the inclusion of these practices in statutory health care in 1967. In this context she put forward an argumentation that, according to the thesis of this article, was essentially based on the motive of a fundamental uniformity of psychoanalytic practise. For one thing, this argumentation will be reconstructed and critically examined, especially on the basis of the report published in 1962 on the large-scale catamnestic study at the Berlin Zentralinstitut für psychogene Erkrankungen. For another thing, the aim is to show to what extent the statements in her publications from the late 1980s and 1990s must be seen as a consistent and in part radicalized continuation of the position she had already held in the 1950s and 1960s.
