About the Journal
Psychotherapie-Wissenschaft encourages the lasting and sustainable development of psychotherapy with academic articles on psychotherapy practice and research. It takes a stand on current issues and problems and promotes interdisciplinary exchange on fundamental matters such as indication, methodology, efficiency, etc.
A marked feature of the journal is its openness to all fields of psychotherapy, e.g. psychoanalysis, person-centred psychotherapy, behaviour therapy, Gestalt therapy, body therapy, logotherapy, psychodrama, systemic therapy, family therapy, child and adolescent therapy, group psychoanalysis, dynamic group psychotherapy, catathymic image perception, hypnotherapy, etc. and it prints articles from all fields of psychotherapy. All manuscripts submitted are examined by a panel of international experts.
Psychotherapie-Wissenschaft is the successor publication to Psychotherapie-Forum, which was published by Springer-Verlag. From 2013 to 2017 the journal was published by the Swiss Charter for Psychotherapy, a subsection of the Association of Swiss Psychotherapists (ASP). Since 2017 it has appeared in the Psychosozial-Verlag.
Current Issue
Nach einem Boom in den 1970ern wurde der Einsatz psychotroper Substanzen als Therapeutikum in vielen Staaten verboten. In der Schweiz ist es jedoch möglich, im Rahmen von Forschungsprojekten diese unter bestimmten Bedingungen ergänzend/begleitend zu Psychotherapie einzusetzen, was in der Öffentlichkeit wenig wahrgenommen wurde. Verschiedene Studien weisen darauf hin, dass damit insbesondere bei der Behandlung schwerer Störungen Therapieerfolge möglich sind, die ohne den Einsatz psychotroper Substanzen kaum eintreten würden. Das verdient Aufmerksamkeit. Diese Ausgabe der Psychotherapie-Wissenschaft widmet sich daher dem Thema »Psychedelika unterstützte Psychotherapie«.
