Abstract

Ammon [5] writes

Dynamic psychiatry can be seen as a chain of endeavors to understand more and more exactly, with the help of theoretical concepts, what is actually happening in therapy, to develop hypotheses which make it possible for the therapist to act purposefully and systematically and to learn from what he does.

“Milieu treatment,” wrote Ammon as early as 1959 [1], “is as old as the human race and is based on the idea that people can be changed through people and environmental factors.”
