Since the 1960s methods and practices based on TV and video technology have been developed in psychotherapy and psychiatry, which were directed at getting to know, documenting, observing, confronting, diagnosing, or empowering the self. Whereas self-confrontational methods had also used film and photography, video with its immediate playback function has been viewed as particularly appropriate to be used in this respect.
In this talk Renée Winter will focus on the IAAPP (Internationaler Arbeitskreis für Audiovision in Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie / International Working Group for Audiovision in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy), which was founded in West Berlin in 1977. The primarily German-speaking working group was concerned with the exchange of know-how and research regarding audio-visual methods in documentation, diagnostics, teaching, research, and therapy. Although the name of the working group did not mention a specific medium, a major part of the actors dealt with the medium of video on magnetic tape.
Renée Winter is going to situate the activities of the IAAPP in the field of psychiatry and psychotherapy and within the historical framework of video’s utilization for working on the self.
