Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnostics (OPD)

In order for psychotherapeutic work to be effective, it is helpful for the therapist to engage with the client diagnostically at the start of therapy. Some WIENER COUCH therapists have been certified for OPD in an internal training course with over 60 work units and many practice diagnoses. With OPD, targeted therapy plans can be developed on a valid basis. As a client, you stand to benefit greatly when therapy is based on a diagnostic assessment that establishes the focus of treatment. The causes of your distress are identified and then addressed directly. This makes the therapy more effective. Background: Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis (OPD) takes the form of a multiaxial system. OPD is based on the axes
  1. Experience of illness and treatment requirements,
  2. Relationship,
  3. Conflict,
  4. Structure and
  5. mental and psychosomatic disorders according to Chapter V (F) of the ICD-10.
After an initial consultation lasting one to two hours, our therapists can assess your psychodynamics along these axes. The new OPD-2 version has evolved from a purely diagnostic tool into an instrument for therapy planning and measuring change. This includes identifying key areas of focus for therapy and designing tailored treatment strategies. (1st session: 50-minute interview; 2nd session: 50-minute focused discussion; price: €320)
