- Therapie und Praxis
D1Therapie und PraxisDina Schwarz, a new psychotherapist at the Essen clinic, faces the mammoth task of taking over the psychosocial care of around 4,000 employees. Dina's job interview takes a dramatic turn when, at the last second, she stops intensive care nurse Nathan Freye from taking his own life, only to break his arm in the process. The clinic director, Ms. Jelinek, makes Dina an offer: to keep quiet about the incident and accept the job in return. But Dina sets one condition: an assistant. Thus begins her balancing act between the challenges of the clinic and the needs of her sister Kiki, who has Down syndrome and expects Dina to resolve her family problems. Her past also haunts Dina and seems unwilling to let go. As her assistant, Anton Zinser, guides her through the clinic, Dina notices how far removed the management level seems from the actual challenges of everyday clinical life. She recognizes the need to be closer to people in order to help them effectively. As Dina gets to know the staff, she encounters resistance, especially from Dr. Schultholz, the attending physician in the intensive care unit, who is skeptical of her methods. Both Dr. Schultholz and Nathan, who is recovering from his suicide attempt, are unwilling to speak with Dina. Dina realizes that many staff members suffer from overwork and stress but are afraid to talk about it. Dr. Schultholz, in particular, is critical of Dina's approach. Dina struggles through daily hospital life and finds support from nurse Adem. But accessing the nursing staff proves to be a challenge, with both advances and setbacks. So Dina must use her own methods to convince Ms. Jelinek to create two vacancies in the intensive care unit to ease the pressure. At the same time, she starts a podcast with Nathan about mental health and burnout. Her goal is to establish a culture of listening and support, even though she knows the road is rocky. The message is clear: everyone needs support, even those who save others. Dina is here to stay, and she won't let up until the Essen clinic is a place where employees feel understood and supported. - Wahrheit oder Pflicht
D2Wahrheit oder PflichtDina tirelessly pursues her goal of removing the taboo surrounding mental health in the workplace and transforming her office at the heart of the hospital into a place of encounter, healthy conflict, and learning. But all of Dina's offers are met with reluctance by the staff, and Ms. Jelinek is also insisting on results. It doesn't help that Anton, who has become increasingly distracted lately, forgets to inform Dina about the evaluation appointment with the hospital director. Since attack is the best defense, Dina's quick wit saves her from the appointment and buys herself a little time until the numbers speak for themselves. A sudden death in the intensive care unit shocks the staff, especially the young resident Rana, who is further thrown off track by Dr. Schultholz's almost heartless manner. The suspicion of medical malpractice also brings Dr. Jelinek into the picture, and there's one thing she can't afford right now: bad press. Although she wants Dina to take care of the matter, she's hoping for damage control rather than a genuine confrontation with the incident. Dr. Schultholz, meanwhile, is struggling not only with professional challenges but also with personal problems. His marriage is in disarray, he repeatedly clashes with colleagues and patients, and is particularly bothered by Dina's persistence in refusing to let the patient's death rest. Dina encounters only resistance from Dr. Schultholz and must find creative ways to open up to the withdrawn chief physician and get him to take responsibility. But he remains stubborn and refuses any kind of support. Amidst these professional challenges, Dina also has to grapple with personal problems. Her sister Kiki, who shows up unannounced at her door, disrupts her already hectic life. Daily life at the hospital and the chaos of the family merge as Dina tries to please everyone while simultaneously finding her own way. But she recognizes that professional and private life are often inextricably intertwined. The path to balance is rocky and full of challenges.
