Together with other facilities, the Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy III fulfils the care mandate for general psychiatric patients in the city of Ulm and the northern Alb-Donau district. We have 24 beds on a closed acute ward and two open wards for this purpose. In addition, we have a contingent of 30 beds that are also used for general psychiatric treatment, but with consideration for research and teaching. We also have a day clinic with 23 therapy places, as well as a university outpatient clinic and a psychiatric institute outpatient clinic.

Modern psychiatry combines pharmacotherapy with psychotherapy and sociotherapy. Key words are:

• Close to the community
• no hospitalisation
• short hospitalisation times
• patient-orientated approach
• close integration of neuroscience with practical clinical psychiatry

Clinical specialisations

• Crisis intervention
• Organo-brain and somatic diagnostics (in collaboration with other specialities at the University Hospital)
• Modern psychopharmacotherapy
• Psychotherapy based on behavioural therapy
• Extensive range of co-therapies (sports, occupational, occupational and music therapy; relaxation)
• Intensive socio-psychiatric care

Scientific focus

Cognitive neuroscientific examinations are carried out using a wide range of methods, from behavioural experiments to brain mapping using electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) as well as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The department has several electrophysiological laboratories and its own 3T head scanner.

Offers for students in their practical year

• personal supervision by a ward physician and the senior physician in charge
• Extensive involvement in diagnostic and therapeutic processes
