Core Tip

Core Tip: Research on development of the self and identity disturbance has progressed over the past decade studying memory changes and brain plasticity. However, there are still many unanswered questions related to clinical and ambient, environmental applications. As external stimuli have personal valence and meaning, we investigated efficacy of psychotherapeutic care. Stakeholders provide insight into institutional resistances and solutions for better care- and containment-competence development and training. The goal therefore is to target containment processes in both, in individuals who suffer from mental disorders, and their ambient conditions with real-world consequences.
