Thematik

During the course, students will learn about the definition of emergency psychology, its psychodynamic background and the modifications of frames, relationship, and communication. The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the specificities of psychologically critical situations (e.g., crisis and critical situations in medicine and everyday life, suicidal crisis), the circumstances and conditions of real-time interventions, the intervention tools that can be used. In this course, students will learn to recognise the signs of psychological traumatisation and to apply the basic psychological tools that can help in crisis situations and in gaining cooperation. They will also gain insights into the risks of stress for helpers and tools for burnout prevention
