Abstract

Objective: In view of the cruelty of acts of terrorism and violent extremism, it is often inconceivable what the underlying motives are. Analyzes of the attacks in Ansbach (2016), Halle (2019) and Hanau (2020) showed a picture of different psychological conspicuities among the perpetrators, which highlights the need to involve health care professionals in the prevention of extremism. Against this background, the treatment of people with extremist attitudes appears to be crucial in order to prevent negative consequences for those affected, but also for society.

Methods: Within the framework of an anonymous online survey, physicians and psychological psychotherapists were asked about previous experiences, attitudes and wishes regarding the treatment of patients with extremist attitudes. Furthermore, data on their own work was collected.

Results: A total of 364 physicians (18%), psychological psychotherapists (72%) and participants with other job descriptions (10%) took part in the study. Only one fifth state that they felt well trained in the subject. About half of the respondents would offer a place in therapy (if they could decide on the patients themselves), likewise about half have already dealt with the topic of extremism and the majority see a need to deal with the topic more in the future and indicate a need for further training. The analyses show that physicians have so far dealt with the topic somewhat more than those with psychological psychotherapeutic training, and professionals in private practive are more likely to see a connection between extremism and psychiatric illnesses than professionals in hospitals, but would be less willing to offer patients with extremist attitudes a place in therapy.

Discussion: Physicians and psychotherapists need further training on extremisms and should be better prepared fo the challenges of treating patients in this context.

Conclusion: In order to increase the chances of providing adequate care for mentally ill people with extremist attitutdes, health professionals should be better prepared for the topic in the future, for example through further training or opportunities for cooperation.

[医疗保健专业人员对极端主义的态度和治疗选择]。
目标:鉴于恐怖主义和暴力极端主义行为的残酷性,其根本动机往往令人难以想象。对Ansbach(2016)、Halle(2019)和Hanau(2020)袭击事件的分析显示,肇事者之间存在不同的心理阴谋,这突出了让医疗保健专业人员参与预防极端主义的必要性。在这种背景下,对待持极端主义态度的人似乎至关重要,以防止对受影响者和社会造成负面影响。方法:在一项匿名在线调查的框架内,医生和心理心理治疗师被问及以前对极端主义态度患者的治疗经历、态度和愿望。此外,还收集了他们自己工作的数据。结果:共有364名医生(18%)、心理心理治疗师(72%)和有其他工作描述的参与者(10%)参加了这项研究。只有五分之一的人表示,他们觉得自己在这方面受过良好的训练。大约一半的受访者会提供治疗名额(如果他们能自己决定患者的话),同样,大约一半的人已经处理过极端主义的话题,大多数人认为未来有必要更多地处理这个话题,并表示需要进一步培训。分析表明,到目前为止,医生比受过心理心理治疗师培训的医生更多地处理这个话题,私人执业的专业人员比医院的专业人员更有可能看到极端主义与精神疾病之间的联系,但不太愿意为持极端主义态度的患者提供治疗。讨论:医生和心理治疗师需要进一步的极端主义培训,并且应该为在这种情况下治疗患者的挑战做好更好的准备。结论:为了增加为具有极端主义态度的精神病患者提供充分护理的机会,卫生专业人员应该为未来的主题做好更好的准备,例如通过进一步的培训或合作机会。
