Our daily shrink give us today: or substantiated knowledge with an emancipatory aim
Abstract
I describe and discuss the different aspects regarding the function and role of the psychotherapist as media expert.I describe my own experience as such an expert. I relate to the discussion about media response to the interview of Natascha Kampusch and describe my model of respect for the privacy of the affected person and the public. I discuss extensivly the effects of my role as expert in the professional field. Finally I argue for the active engagement in the public discourse.
