Jan Josef Liefers talks about his ketamine therapy at an early age. Sandy Graf was given up for adoption by her mother, and Bernd Liebenau only came home to his parents once a month until he was six years old. They are examples of the approximately 500,000 "Wochenkinder" (weekly children) in the GDR. The infants of single parents, shift workers, or artists were handed over at just six weeks old. The parents did not know that the toddlers were sometimes restrained at night, given tranquilizers, or placed in isolation rooms when sick. Many of these former "Wochenkinder" often still suffer from the traumatic consequences today. Journalist and bestselling author ("inside Tagesschau") Alexander Teske not only interviewed therapists, scientists, and affected individuals, but also tells his own moving story.
