PRE-SEARCH
Research enhances therapeutic skills prior to its practice.
Our projects are geared to reach specific goals within
predetermined timeframes. Your contribution facilitates the
realization of planned activities and allows for knowledge
transfer to the academic community.
Psychosomatic Research
In 1988, Spielzeit Child Psychotherapy, known as "Psycho-oncological
Research Project" at the time, launched its synchronous pursuit
of therapeutic treatment and applied research.
"Children with
Cancer: Evaluating Psychodynamics" was our first proposal
submitted to the Swiss Cancer Society. The project was
implemented at the University Children's Hospital Zurich after
several years of providing therapy to children with cancer
suffering from anxiety and depression.
Following approval of the proposal, we submitted the
project's first Scientific Report to the Swiss Cancer Society (Entitled:
"Krebsforschung Schweiz, Grant Number
AKT 70. An Evaluation of Psychodynamics underlying Stress,
Anxiety and Depression in Children with Cancer"). During
the formulation of this report, a series of lectures
were held on this theme.
Psychodynamic studies of mentally and physically challenged
children are scarce both in the literature and applied
psychotherapeutic settings. Spielzeit-Research.Org therefore
launched the current research project on disabled children in
2000. In 2002, we entitled this research endeavor „Emergence of
Dynamic Wholeness" (EDW) and
introduced it to the
Swiss Pediatric Cerebral Palsy
Foundation ("Stiftung Cerebral").
EDW’s purpose is to demonstrate the
application and findings of the psychotherapeutic treatment method
especially developed for disabled children. EDW’s pilot phase was
principally funded by both the
Swiss Pediatric Cerebral Palsy Foundation and the
MLI. The
project's results were presented in 2009 in the form of an
article that outlines
new approaches to the treatment of physically challenged
children. The new propositions described therein form the cornerstone
of our successful therapeutic concept.
