Welcome!
If you are interested in learning more about the special field of trauma- and body-oriented psychotherapy, then this is the right website for you.
Together with my wife Irina Vogt I have a private practice in Leipzig , Germany . You will be able find more information on my professional background under VITAE >> . I have been developing my own concept of trauma and body oriented psychotherapy for individual and group therapy since 1996. My wife, who is also a qualified psychotherapist, joined me in this endeavour in 2000 (VITAE >>).
The central point of this approach is a structured programme of gradual psychotherapeutic treatment for adults, children and adolescents with complex traumata and dissociative disorders. The concept is based on special forms of relationship development by utilizing what we call "ensoulable objects" which have been especially designed for this purpose. In our opinion these therapeutic objects are especially beneficial for this clientele in order to organise suppressed tensions in psychoeducational settings. The majority of the settings are a structural sequence of re-enactments, imaginative settings, stabilising and protection dispensing production activities, confrontational settings and structured role plays. The therapy enables traumatised patients to cope relatively gently with trigger stimulations while encouraging them to express themselves not only verbally but also physically. Any risk of retraumatisation or chronification of the perpetrator introjects is carefully considered and at all costs avoided.
The essence of my work and the use of the self-designed and home-made therapeutic objects can be found in "Ensoulable Therapy Objects by Vogt, Ralf (2004), Psychosozial Verlag Gießen". A second book, which will take a closer look at creating the settings and differentiating between varying states in psychotherapy, will be published in spring 2007 with the title: "Setting, state, psychotrauma" (also Psychosozialverlag Gießen).
If you are a fellow psychotherapist or a professional from a related area of expertise (doctor, psychologist, social worker, etc.) who would like to take part in one of our workshops, please have a look at www.leipzigerakademie.de for further information. At our academy we regularly organise courses in using ensoulable objects in therapy. We also offer a wide range of other courses in psychotrauma, dissociation, the body, adult and child psychotherapy in psychodynamic individual and group settings. The academy does not at present organise its own curricular courses, but does so for other institutes (please contact our secretary if you have any inquiries about workshops or take a look at the workshops we have held at KBAP Bonn).
If you are specifically interested in the home-made therapeutic objects for your practice or your clinic you can take a look at a selection of our hand-made products under www.vogt-objekte.de . Please note that the actual designs are trademark-protected. I would also be grateful if you could source-reference any quotations you may make from the website. Thank you for your understanding.
Yours,
Ralf Vogt
