Dear attendees and co-workers at the 2012 annual conference,

The subject of this year’s annual conference at the Goetheanum comprises the whole field of mental health. For centuries and across all cultures we have been familiar with mental illnesses which can come to expression in, for example, serious melancholia or a psychotic state of being beside oneself ("insanity", "frenzy" and so on).

But since the nineteenth century we have been able to observe the rise of forms of illness such as neurotic disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, traumatic disorders, attention deficit disorders and many others which are connected with the challenges of our time and which Rudolf Steiner described as "cultural disorders": "That is where all the cultural disorders, the cultural decadence, all the psychological emptiness, hypochondria, eccentricities, dissatisfaction, crankiness and so on come from, also all the aggressive instincts which attack a culture, which reject a culture. Because either one accepts the culture of an age and adapts to it, or one develops the corresponding poison which is deposited and which will only dissolve through acceptance of the culture." And Rudolf Steiner sees the possibility of transformation as follows: "There must be the possibility in the world, precisely in our time for example, that people develop a certain spiritual life, that they develop impulses for a free inner, spiritual life within themselves." (1 January 1917, GA 173b, p.182, 184; previously GA 174)



The troubles of psychiatry, psychotherapy and psychosomatics today continue to lie in the insufficiently understood relationship between body , soul and spirit. In the lecture "Hygiene – a social problem" (7 April 1920, GA 314) and the opinion "On psychiatry" (26 March 1920, GA 314), Rudolf Steiner reveals aspects regarding a future psychiatry which sees the whole body as an organ mirroring the soul and spirit and which allows us to think of the 'I' as independent spirit. We want to make the fundamentals of a psychiatry of the future the subject of the morning and evening lectures. In doing so, motifs from the Mystery Dramas in the sense of a practical study of the psyche and destiny will be helpful. A variety of working groups will provide examples of therapeutic approaches from the various fields of work which, of course, will have to remain fragmentary given the breadth of the subject area. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the preparation of the annual conference and look forward to stimulating work together.
