Confidant
At the Faculty of Psychology, there are confidants who serve all members of the faculty (students, doctoral students, staff, professors, employees in administration and technology) as easily accessible contact persons and, in particular, as mediators in problematic situations.
Our approach to work is solution-oriented and based on a mediating attitude. Of course, we also see it as our task to take a clear stand in the case of clear grievances and to support you. From our experience, we know that those affected often only turn to us when the situation is already quite messy. Therefore, we would like to encourage you to contact us at an early stage when problematic situations become apparent. We are here for you, even if you "just" need a sympathetic ear or you "just" have a question.

Procedure in the event of conflict
As a rule, the procedure for dealing with conflicts is as follows:
- joint problem/conflict analysis
- Discussion and, if necessary and desired, talks with other persons involved
- Possibly referral to conflict mediators
The confidential counsellors give an annual oral report to the Faculty Council on the frequency of complaints (in the sense of quality assurance within the faculty).
