Abstract

This article has three objectives. The first is to present Integrative Children and Adolescent Therapy in its development and current status as an approach based on clinical life span developmental psychology. Secondly the transaction between risk and resilience factors and its relevance to diagnostics and therapeutics is demonstrated together with a new model: the “protective factor-resilience cycle". The third objective is connected with the actual situation in Swiss health politics to prepare a legal regulation for psychotherapy. Here on the ground of sound scientific and clinical arguments the engaged position is advocated that children psychotherapy has to be established by a coming law as a specific profession in its own right (as in Germany and the Netherlands) - for the sake and the benefit of children.

Key words:
Integrative children therapy; Resilience; Protective factors; Risk factors; Professionalization of children psychotherapy.
