Structural abuse of psychotherapy through shortage of supply

Authors

  • Ulrich Sollmann

Abstract

Scientific research points out that psychotherapy care in Germany is poor. Representatives of medical federations deny this. But ordinary insured psychotherapy clients have to wait for a longer time to start therapy than insurants of private insurance companies. Their therapy itself does not last as long. Moreover, clients with severe psychic and social problems have to wait for therapy even longer. This poor situation plus the denial by the officials resembles structural abuse of psychotherapy.
