Privatklinik Wyss, Münchenbuchsee

Privatklinik Wyss is located a few minutes from the centre of Bern in the small village of Münchenbuchsee.

The basis of our therapeutic treatment is always the respect for our patient, as an autonomous, independent individual. The therapeutic objective is the uncovering and fostering of personal capabilities and the discovery of new coping strategies. The security and self-confidence this brings about should lead to sustainable new pathways and roles in both private and business relationships. For this reason, it is important to include relatives and this is specifically encouraged in the form of joint discussions, within the scope of couples and family therapy, or in preparing the patient for his or her return to everyday life. Privatklinik Wyss also regularly holds information evenings for relatives.
