“By and large, only people can make other people mentally ill,” says German clinical psychologist Franz Ruppert. Since 1994, he has been using the family constellation method in his work. Phobias, panic attacks, schizophrenia and paranoia, he sees not as a consequence of organic disorders, but as primarily the result of damaged relationships.
“By and large, only people can make other people mentally ill,” says German clinical psychologist Franz Ruppert. Since 1994, he has been using the family constellation method in his work. Phobias, panic attacks, schizophrenia and paranoia, he sees not as a consequence of organic disorders, but as primarily the result of damaged relationships. And, in turn, the cause of these disorders is the psychological trauma experienced or experienced in the present. “There is no severe mental illness that is not based on trauma,” says Ruppert, citing a classification of trauma in his book, illustrating it with practical examples. The path to healing is the restoration and “recovery” of connections and attachments. Including using the method of family constellations.
