Susanne Bräutigam studied human medicine in Berlin, received her license to practice medicine in 1983, and has been a specialist in internal medicine since 1993. During her clinical time she developed a strong interest in psychosomatics and psychotherapy and so she trained as a depth psychologically based psychotherapist. In her own practice as a medical psychotherapist, she learned to work with patient:s who come from the artistic fields as learners and teachers, and in this respect she is familiar with their questions and conflicts. 2006-2016 she extended her professional experience with further training in sexual medicine with Prof. Beier, Charité and with Prof. Clement in Systemic Sexual Therapy, Heidelberg.
