Trials and errors on the way to psychotherapy

Abstract

The ways to psychotherapy are manifold; many pitfalls, however, impact on the accessibility of psychotherapy. Though epidemiological knowledge is fairly scarce the available figures of identified potential clients - people that would deserve a diagnosis - are misleading when drawing consequences for service delivery. The paper summarizes some of the long lasting discussions and makes a strong plea to come to a more differentiated version of the conception of chro-nicity in the field of psychotherapy. Finally a small effort is put to sketch out an internet version of selection and differential indication that might be likely to happen or not.

Keywords:
Health service research, epidemiology, indication, internet psychotherapy.
