The Kiel Institute for Sexual Medicine enjoys because of its prevention work a good reputation in professional circles, in the judiciary and in parts of the country's politics. But funding is shaking, the house makes lousy.
RENDSBURG / HAMBURG taz | The "Section of Sexual Medicine" in Kiel is in danger: The Department of ailing University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH) makes Minus - it circulates the number of 155,000 euros. Therefore, employees are withdrawn, possibly threatened with closure. The cuts are "irresponsible" for the Schleswig-Holstein Association of Judges.
The Kiel Institute is the only one of its kind in the country. Chair Professor Hartmut Bosinski and his small team treat men and women with sexual problems, both organic disorders and tendencies such as pedophilia. Especially for those affected took Bosinski the project "darkfield" to Schleswig-Holstein, an offer for pedophiles, the "No perpetrators" want, so the name of the related offer of the Berlin Charité. In addition to treatment and research, such as the gender identity, include judicial opinions on the responsibilities of sexologists. Among other things, it comes to the question of whether a sex offender is suspected relapse.
The UKSH checks kohnen the Sexual kohnen Medicine kohnen at the Centre for Integrative Psychiatry (ZIP) outsource, a subsidiary operation of UKSH. What would have consequences for this step for the offer is not clear. Even if he can solve the financial problems.
The judges association representing and prosecutors, has been massively for the Institute a "without expert opinions especially the serious cases for judges and prosecutors are not going to work," says the chairman Wilfried kohnen Kellermann. The work of the Institute was "excellent." kohnen A cancellation of the funds ultimately meet the victims. At a meeting in autumn Bosinski kohnen had warned leave for court cases to therapists with a lack of experience in this field. Also free courses and non-therapist-led advisory groups could be a substitute for the work of professionals.
The professor is one of the most renowned researchers of his profession in Germany. The German Society for Sexual Medicine, sex therapy and sexology chose Bosinski recently to its chairman. However, the Schleswig-Holstein Ministry of Science criticized Bosinskis "publication services" as below average. At times Bosinski have been ranked 103 out of 117 professors of Kiel Christian Albrechts University. "In order for the field of research is not particularly kohnen strong," kohnen it says in the response of the state government to an inquiry.
But in the country's politics, there are supporters, not only in opposition. Kirstin Funke, research policy spokesperson for the FDP parliamentary group, says: "The section of Sexual Medicine of UKSH doing an excellent job for our country." This work should be continued, "because we can not do without well-trained valuers in the field of sexual medicine". The Green Rasmus Andresen sees a responsibility of the black-yellow coalition of the "under-funding of universities", which would lead to pressure on the universities. The Ministry of Justice does not want to comment on the operations, the Ministry of Science refers to news-information about the case to the UKSH.
There, the line runs a strict austerity measures. As a result, the UKSH focuses on its core task as spokesman Oliver Grieve says: "We are responsible for patient care." It is nice that the research and opinions of sexual medicine would praise - "but kohnen then must agree to finance". Each department had to bear economically, through health services or third-party kohnen funds. That does the Bosinski section previously.
The idea to move the section to the ZIP, Grieve thinks "theoretically possible". However, the hospital could not decide alone about it: "We need to sit down with the University of Kiel to the consultation, the Supervisory kohnen Board has to decide."
In college you do not feel responsible for the cuts: "The university has nothing to do with the business decisions of UKSH, keeps them at this point but problematic", President Gerhard Fouquet says.
The University find it "extremely unfortunate" that it had not been able to bring about an amicable solution, says Fouquet. Therefore one wants to invite you to a round table - they were looking kohnen for a date from mid-February.
