Matthias Michal, MD, Professorship for Psychocardiology and Stress Disorders; I am a specialist for Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy (this medical specialty is only existing in Germany. The specialty overlaps with psychiatry but has a much stronger emphasis on psychotherapy and the biopsychosocial model). I am working at the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy of the University Medical Center Mainz (Germany). I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist. I have 25 years of experience with consultation-liaison psychiatry, inpatient and outpatient psychotherapy, and teaching of students, residents, nurses, and psychologists. I am working mainly in the field of psychocardiology and stress-related disorders (esp. depersonalization disorder).
