Day Clinic
As the only clinic of its kind in Germany, the Day Clinic at the Berlin Center for Torture Victims (bzfo) has been treating refugees from all over the world since 2003. These persons have been deeply traumatized through torture or civil war violence and require further treatment than that provided by the outpatient facility.
The intercultural range of treatments have been continually improved and expanded since the joint founding of the Schlosspark Clinic.
Interpreters who have been specially trained for therapeutic assistance by the bzfo for further support the treatments.
Since January 2008, the Day Clinic has been working in cooperation with the Charitè Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy from the Mitte campus in Berlin, under the direction of Prof. Dr. med. Andreas Heinz.
