The therapeutic loop: learn about fourfold diagnosis and interprofessional case discussion
Do you work in medicine, nursing or therapy and would like to deepen and apply your knowledge of anthroposophic medicine? Our online course offers you the opportunity to develop a systematic approach through practical case work (live patient consultations and therapeutic approaches such as external applications, eurythmy, and biographical work), leading to an individualised and comprehen- sible therapy concept. The Therapeutic Loop method represents a structured team process that leads from the therapeutic need to the treatment concept in eight steps, benefitting from the therapeutic intuition of all team members.
