Kann Reden heilen? Zur Geschichte der Psychotherapie

In the organizer's words:

Starting in Vienna in the late 19th century, an idea of the psyche and the possibilities of its healing and development developed that still shapes our thinking today. In his book "Soul Magic - From Vienna to the World", Steve Ayan (psychologist and science writer) tells fascinating stories about Freud, Rogers, Watson and many other players from the beginnings of the major psychotherapeutic schools. In conversation with him, we look back at the early days of the psychoanalytic, humanistic and behavioral therapy traditions of thought. What fundamentally new ideas emerged here? How did words become a means of alleviating mental suffering? And how does psychotherapy work today?

In the "In conversation" series, you can find out more about a topic - and about a person who deals with it.
