From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luise Reddemann was a neurologist, psychoanalyst, and specialist in psychotherapeutic medicine.[1] At the University of Klagenfurt, Austria, she served as an honorary professor for psychotraumatology and psychological medicine. She conducted trauma-based studies to counteract weak/overactive neurotransmitters. Working at Evangelical Hospital, she created a therapy called psychodynamic-imaginative trauma therapy (PITT).[2] This treatment benefited patients dealing with complex traumas through safety and stabilization, as well as acceptance of traumatic memories.[3] Her works are most recognized for studies of women surviving childhood abuse and individuals who experienced World War I.[4]
