Psychological support
Illnesses are stressful and interfere with the patient’s physiological and emotional balance. Professional support helps optimizing the process of healing.
The support by our clinical psychologist includes an initial diagnostic conversation and is followed by continuing psychodynamic meetings. This helps patients cope with acute as well as chronic straining and tense situations and also assists the process of getting over an illness.
Furthermore, relatives can take advantage of the psychological support at Rudolfinerhaus private hospital and get professional advice in difficult situations.
Mental-health psychological measures, such as stress-management-training, relaxation-training or nicotine treatment for patients wanting to quit smoking, are part of the treatments offered at the Rudolfinerhaus.
Neuropsychological diagnostics is another main focus at the Rudolfinerhaus. Its objectives are to assess the cognitive capability (memory, concentration, attentiveness, acting according to plans and solving problems) as well as the preparation of a therapy on the basis of these findings.

Klinical psychology
The profession of clincal psychology is that part of psychology that aims at the diagnosis and treatment of psychic disorders. Before the background of scientifically grounded findings on biologic, social, developmental- and behavioural as well as cognitive and emotional correlation, an indicidual concept for the patient’s treatment is developed, which forms the basis of all further interventions.
Mental-health psychology
A central element of mental-health measures is the diagnosis of individual factors influencing the patient’s physiological and mental health. Based on these diagnostic measures, the treatment includes techniques to support and preserve the patient’s health. This happens by reflecting existing attitudes of experience and behaviour as well as by learning new methods, which help boosting the patient’s health and wellbeing.
