Profesor psychiatrii, psychoterapeuta, wykładowca
I am a professor of psychiatry, the first professional twenty years I worked at the Department of Psychiatry of the Medical Academy in Warsaw, and the last twenty-five at the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology in Warsaw, of which I was head.
I’m also a psychotherapist – the psychotherapeutic orientation with which I identify is, on the one hand, psychodynamically oriented individual psychotherapy and, on the other hand, systemic therapy, primarily family therapy. There would seem to be a contradiction between these orientations. However, this is an apparent contradiction. For each of them describes a different level of human existence, and each of them has given me slightly different knowledge of the human being. If I were asked about the main qualities of my work, I would list in the first place respect for the distinctiveness of the other person, curiosity about what he is like, what story he brings about himself and the world, patience, and humility. Humility expressed in the belief that it is never possible to know and understand fully another person who is healthy or experiencing emotional problems. I believe that in the work of a psychiatrist the most important thing is contact with the other person – it helps as much or maybe even more than drugs, the importance of which in therapy I do not deny.
Part of my professional life is didactics – transferring knowledge to students, doctors and people learning psychotherapy. I am a certified psychotherapist and supervisor of the Polish Psychiatric Association, and for the past 10 years I have served as a national consultant in child and adolescent psychiatry to the Minister of Health. I am the author of more than 100 scientific papers published in Polish and foreign journals, as well as the author of the textbook Family Therapy, which has had II editions and serves many psychotherapists, psychologists and psychiatrists who want to deepen their knowledge of family therapy. Under my editorship, the first modern textbook on child and adolescent psychiatry in Poland was written, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, published by PZWL.
I am happy that it is given to me to be a psychiatrist and therapist. I treat this work as a privilege and a gift, and if at the same time I can help people, that’s great.

Teacher Training „Beyond Schemes” and Inherited Family Trauma Diagnosis and Resolution in Individual Sessions with Mark Wolynn, The Family Constellation Institute. Worked with children and adolescents during more than a year of volunteering at Ognisko Muranów.
In my work, I try to give my own authenticity, acceptance and empathy, keeping in mind that a therapist in a respectful way supports a person to understand himself and strive for development, health and independent problem solving. In my opinion, a therapist is a person who tries to see a person with his pain, regardless of his age, and helps him see himself. A person learns to give himself support, understanding and trust. Often, despite caring, it is difficult for us to see loved ones and difficult for us to be seen by them. What often prevents us from seeing the other person is our own pain covered by a bandage of defense mechanisms and patterns that we try to understand in the process. Listening attentively, I name the patients’ feelings and the needs behind them, following Marshall Rosenberg’s system of Nonviolent Agreement, from which I constantly draw inspiration. I am also attentive to beliefs and values, which often lie behind unnoticed phrases, words and often stand behind actions and repeated patterns. In working with addictions, I try to remember to be humble considering the role a behavior or substance plays in a person’s life and the needs behind it. I see meaning in working to rebuild control and the ability to meet one’s needs and the experiencing of emotions in touch with one’s whole self.
I am largely interested in ways to rebuild broken relationships, working with transgenerational (generational) trauma, and integrating various experiences into the psyche on a conscious level, including psychedelic experiences. I am interested in issues related to building and maintaining relationships and professional burnout. In my approach, the values are returning to openness to one’s limitations, respect for the other person and trusting the individual path of each of us, which can be described as returning to our own autonomy in a sense of belonging.
