In the next episode of the podcast You Have It in Your Hands, we look into the world of psychiatry and psychotherapy not only from the perspective of expertise, but also everyday practice and work with specific people.

This episode features Jitka Holčapková, MD, a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and psychotherapeutic training instructor. Together we talk about her journey from studying medicine to psychiatry and psychotherapy, the real role of a psychiatrist, and how a psychiatric diagnosis is made.

In this interview, we discuss why a diagnosis alone never describes a person as a whole and why it is important to approach each client individually. A diagnosis can be an important guide for further action, but it should not become a simple label that covers up the unique story, needs and possibilities of a particular person.

We also open up the topic of pharmacological treatment and psychotherapy. When do medications have a place? When can psychotherapy help? And in what situations can the connection of both approaches be the most effective way? We also touch on the boundaries of individual professional roles, ethics, the therapeutic relationship, psychotherapeutic training, self-experience and supervision.

At NEO Centrum, we believe in professional and respectful care that does not only look at individual symptoms or diagnoses, but above all at the person in all their uniqueness. We combine various professional approaches and experiences so that care meets the individual needs of each client. What is important to us is expertise, a safe relationship, respect and finding a path that makes sense for a specific person.

If you are interested in mental health, psychiatry, psychotherapy, or want to gain a deeper insight into what goes on behind the doors of psychiatric and therapy offices, listen to the new episode of the podcast Máš to v svám kádě.
