Abstract - Inhalt

Patients treated in intensive care units (ICU) are in an artificially extended living space which is characterized by a huge polarisation between a predominant world of stressful control, feasibility, physicalness and high-tech medicine, and a marginalized world of inner experiences in extremely deep altered states of consciousness. Supported by a short documentary film this session introduces into the situation and dynamics of the ICU. It demonstrates how Clinical Pastoral Care has transcended the focus on verbal communication and the support of families of dying patients into working with non-verbal processes and altered states of consciousness in patients themselves by using Process Work coma work methods. It explores personal and cultural challenges of applying coma work in these circumstances; demonstrates the change from focussing on the patient into including the whole field of the ICU; gives insights into the training program for chaplains and its development in Germany and presents the fruitful joint venture of Clinical Pastoral Care and Process Work in approaching patients in the whole gamut of consciousness from ordinary to extremely deep altered states.
