Parents who are interested in the treatment methods for parent-infant-toddler psychotherapy (German: Eltern-Säugling-Kleinkind-Psychotherapie, ESKP) can participate in the “SKKIPPI” evaluation study. ESKP, which is conducted by specially qualified therapists, can provide support and relief to both parents and children through the joint treatment structure. As part of the study, the therapists are also under supervision so that they can contribute results on this method’s effectiveness in Germany.

No new patients will be enrolled for the study.
As part of the BMBF-funded research network ENHANCE, victims of sexual abuse or violence in childhood and adolescence are offered the opportunity to attend up to 30 weekly therapy sessions over a period of about 6 to 8 months with specially trained therapists. After a detailed diagnostic evaluation, psychotherapy can begin immediately or after a six-month waiting period. All study therapies are scientifically monitored and evaluated in order to gain new insights into the complex post-traumatic stress disorder and to improve its treatment.
Teaching
The Psychotherapeutic Outpatient Clinic of the IPU Berlin is significantly involved in the clinical-practical teaching in the Master's program in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy. This way, IPU students gain in-depth insights into everyday psychotherapeutic treatment practice and are closely supervised by our licensed lecturers in their practical tasks as part of their third professional qualification activity (e.g. taking case histories).
