Institute of Practical Psychology
For over 30 years the IPP has combined scientific research with hands-on practice — founded by Univ. Prof. Dr. Michael Dieterich, in exchange with Lee University (Cleveland, TN, USA), today with a focus on the PST‑R and ABPS® counselling.
How we see ourselves
Every person is unique — and needs tailored support. We work in a resource- and development-oriented way.
Developmental diagnostics based on empirical findings from the social and behavioural sciences.
The ABPS® model combines general counselling, psychotherapy and pastoral care — soma, psyche and pneuma in one integrative approach.
In exchange with science and practice
The IPP works in exchange with recognised institutions from teaching, research and practice. This keeps the ongoing development of the PST‑R and ABPS® counselling on a sound footing.
